KAIAM :: Company Overview
 KAIAM,
with its main offices in Newark, California, develops and manufactures
innovative optical components primarily for the optical interconnect
market.
Given the increasing demands fueled by the growth of streaming
video, mobile applications, and data centers, new approaches are needed
to increase density, bandwidth and lower the power consumption. Traditional
architectures that use discrete individual packages of lasers and detectors
and provide a single lane of data in each connection are no longer adequate
and cannot provide the connectivity needed at nearly every length scale.
In early 2009, KAIAM Corporation was founded to address the need
for increased parallelism in fiber optic networks. The key technology
is hybrid integration, where standard and mature electronic manufacturing
tools can be used to assemble complex hybrid optical integrated
circuits for various applications. The company uses silicon micromechanical
techniques to solve the challenging step of optical alignment between
these components. The company is funded by a mix of venture capital
investment and contracts with leading companies in the industry
to develop custom products.
The founders and key employees have considerable experience developing
optical components for telecom, datacom, and optical storage industries.
Their inventions and ideas are currently powering the internet and most
