 PROFILE
JDS Uniphase warms itself by the glow of growing optical networks. It makes laser subsystems and equipment for fiber-optic telecommunications, signal processing, and semiconductor wafer inspection. Products include source lasers and components that modify and switch signals, and modules that amplify and transmit signals. JDS Uniphase also builds testing gear and display equipment. It sells to manufacturers including Alcatel, CIENA, Lucent, Nortel, and Siemens. Three-quarters of sales are in North America. Formed by the merger of JDS FITEL and Uniphase, JDS Uniphase has used acquisitions (in 2001 it bought rival SDL for $17 billion) to expand its reach. The company is laying off employees to offset lagging sales.
