BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Finisar Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets optical subsystems, components, and network performance test systems for high-speed data communications in the United States and internationally. The company offers optical subsystems and components that connect local area networks (LAN), storage area networks (SAN), and metropolitan area networks (MAN). Its optical subsystems primarily include transceivers, which provide the fundamental optical-electrical interface for connecting equipment used in building networks; transmitters that convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optics; and receivers, which convert incoming optical signals into electric signals. The company’s optical subsystems also include multiplexers, de-multiplexers, and optical add/drop modules for use in MAN applications. Its line of optical components principally comprises packaged lasers and photo-detectors used in transceivers for LAN and SAN applications; and passive optical components used in building MANs. The company also provides network performance test systems, such as products to test the reliability and performance of equipment for various protocols, including Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, iSCSI, SAS, and SATA. It sells its optical subsystem and component products primarily to manufacturers of storage and networking equipment. The company was founded in 1987 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.
