Active Optical MEMS, founded in 2000 and formerly known as Active Optical Networks, operated as a manufacturer of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and a provider of fiber-optic subsystems. The company, based in Fremont, California, is now defunct.
The firm specialized in producing MEMS-based active components and subsystems designed to improve the performance and wavelength management of optical networks. Its product line included MEMS-based switches targeted for applications within metro and long-haul optical networks. These components also found use in high-definition television (HDTV) and various display applications.
Throughout its operation, Active Optical MEMS secured $4.11 million in funding over four rounds, with the first round on August 23, 2006, and the latest on October 15, 2008. The primary institutional investor in the company was Noventi.
