PROFILE |
 |
Chorum Technologies wants a chorus of networking customers. Its primary product is the PolarWave Optical Slicer filter, which expands capacity in telecommunications networks by combining and separating wavelengths of light transmitted over fiber-optic cables. Chorum also makes optical routers, switches, and processors, though it has yet to recognize sales from those products. Nortel Networks is the company's only customer. Chorum has acquired two small companies that make materials used in its own products, and it plans more acquisitions to expand operations. Venture funds CenterPoint, Sevin Rosen, and Inter-West each own about 12% of the company; founder and chief technical officer Jian-Yu Liu owns about 10%.
