About PIRI
PIRI was founded in 1987 by NTT, MC, MIC and Battele for R&D, manufacturing and sale of optical waveguide products and related components/products in the US market. With a help of technology transfer from NTT, PIRI has developed optical waveguide products and has been selling them in worldwide. By a growing demand for the broadband network, demand for PIRI's core product, AWG(Arrayed-Waveguide Grating), which is used for DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) has expanded very rapidly and has succeeded in clearing its accumulated debt in 1997. |
