Emcore Corporation

EMCORE's Fiber Optics group provides optical components and systems that enable the transmission of video, voice, and data over high-capacity fiber optic links.

EMCORE is one of the leading suppliers of highly efficient radiation hard solar cells for space power applications. With a beginning of life conversion efficiency of 28.5% and the option of a patented, onboard monolithic bypass diode, EMCORE’s industry leading multi-junction solar cells enable a new class of high power communications satellite for direct to home broadcasts and advanced satellite services. These advanced solar cells have also been adapted for use in terrestrial concentrator applications and have attained conversion efficiencies in excess of 36%. These products will make possible cost competitive concentrating photovoltaic systems for use in utility scale solar power stations and other distributed energy applications.
