Company Profile
High Efficiency Photonics
HieFo Corporation is a California-based company specializing in the production and development of high-efficiency Indium Phosphide (InP) photonic devices for the optical communication industry. Our journey began with a management buyout (MBO) of wafer fabrication and chip-related assets from EMCORE Corporation. By acquiring these assets and re-hiring key scientists, engineers, and operators, HieFo has inherited over 40 years of optoelectronic innovation in InP chip design and manufacturing as an Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM).
HieFo stands for high efficiency photonics, addressing the growing demand for higher optical output power and lower electrical power consumption. Our advanced photonic devices are supplied to leading optical module and component manufacturers, enabling them to enhance their product offerings and improve competitiveness. We are committed to delivering innovative optoelectronic solutions that meet the evolving needs of the telecom, data center, AI connectivity, and sensing sectors.
HieFo boasts a highly skilled technical team with a strong focus on research and development. With our US-based production line, we ensure high-quality manufacturing and a rapid response to market needs. We perform high-volume wafer processing of InP-based devices and possess unique technologies and intellectual property rights in device design, epitaxial growth, and wafer processing.Our Gain Chip technology has been a fundamental building block of the tunable laser market for over 15 years, setting industry standards for performance and efficiency.
In this era of technological transformation, the demand for data and faster transmission rates is ever-increasing. Looking ahead, coherent technology represents an essential development path for the optical communication industry.
