Overview
Lumentum is an American photonics company separated from JDS Uniphase in 2015 that makes the optical components carrying data through networks and between data centre systems. Its business has been transformed by artificial intelligence build-out: the optical transceivers and laser components that connect accelerators inside a cluster are now in far shorter supply than the networking equipment they plug into. Headquartered in San Jose and listed on Nasdaq, it also supplies industrial and consumer lasers, and it acquired Cloud Light in 2023 specifically to add high-speed transceiver manufacturing capacity for cloud customers.

Products
3D Sensing
Laser components used in facial recognition and depth sensing in consumer devices. Demand depends on a handful of phone manufacturers, which makes it the most concentrated and least predictable part of the portfolio.
lumentum.com
Industrial Lasers
Fibre and solid-state lasers for cutting, welding and materials processing. It is a separate market from communications entirely, and it has faced sustained price pressure from Chinese manufacturers for several years.
lumentum.com
ROADM and Transport
Reconfigurable optical add-drop modules and components for long-haul and metro networks. Telecommunications capital spending is cyclical and has been weak, which is why data centre demand now dominates the outlook.
lumentum.com
Photonic Components
Lasers, modulators and receivers sold to equipment makers who assemble them into finished systems. Component-level supply means demand depends on customers' build plans rather than on end-user network spending directly.
lumentum.com
Optical Transceivers
High-speed pluggable modules connecting switches and accelerators inside data centres. Artificial intelligence clusters need far more optical connections per accelerator than conventional servers, which turned a steady business into a supply-constrained one.
