Firecomms, a compound semiconductor company, develops high-speed light sources in visible range wavelengths. Our innovative lasers and LEDs enable low-cost, high-speed optical data transmission and data capture using visible light; creating new opportunities for optical data communications in small area networks, like those used in home networks. We leverage our hundreds of man-years of photonics research experience, optical expertise, and extensive IP portfolio to develop cost-effective solutions.

Firecomms’ world-class optical data transmission light sources and detectors make possible the use of plastic optical fiber (POF) in high bandwidth, low-cost links with exceptional data capacity. By mass producing these transceiver components, Firecomms enables new advances in low-cost fiber optic links and networks for consumer and industrial equipment.

Their RCLED visible light sources have unique properties that enable new applications and exciting improvements in existing applications. These properties include high bandwidth, high electro-optical conversion efficiency, narrow optical spectrum, and light emission in a narrow beam from a small circular spot. Firecomms RCLED operates at well over 100ºC.
