DiCon Fiberoptics

DiCon Fiberoptics is a California company that has been active in photonics since 1986. It describes itself as "The Optical Switching Company," with a global reputation for engineering high-performance, ultra-reliable switching products. Its MEMS-based all-optical matrix switches, including 384x384 and 600x600 models, serve applications such as AI data networks and high-performance computing, quantum computing and secure communications, test automation for co-packaged optics, cybersecurity and surveillance, space and satellite communications, and energy exploration and smart grid technology. The company operates with a 600-strong workforce across the US and Taiwan, maintains in-house foundries, and is fully vertically integrated from chip design and fabrication to final assembly and software integration. It is equipped to manage ITAR-controlled projects within its secure U.S. facility and has a TAA-compliant supply chain.

DiCon Fiberoptics has been active in photonics since 1986, as indicated by the "40 Years of Photonics Excellence A California Company (1986 - NOW)" banner on its website. The company describes itself as "The Optical Switching Company" and states it has established a global reputation for engineering high-performance, ultra-reliable switching products that serve as the backbone of many critical infrastructure. It was among the first to invest in MEMS technology in the late 1990s, and its patented MEMS mirror structures, proprietary MEMS chip fabrication processes, and optical designs have established its MEMS components as industry gold standards. In 2002, DiCon entered the lighting industry with a Dense Matrix LED platform. The company has launched a series of MEMS-based optical switches over the years, including the 384x384 and 600x600 MEMS All-Optical Matrix Switches, and in 2026 announced two value-focused Optical Circuit Switches (OCS) for AI data centers while celebrating 40 years. DiCon operates with a 600-strong workforce across the US and Taiwan, maintains in-house foundries, and is fully vertically integrated from chip design and fabrication to final assembly and software integration. It is equipped to manage ITAR-controlled projects within its secure U.S. facility and has a TAA-compliant supply chain.
