Gooch & Housego has been supplying high quality fibre optic components and optical modules into a variety of market sectors 1985. The core technology used for our ‘passive’ components is fused biconical tapering and the current product portfolio includes tap couplers, wavelength combiners/splitters, polarization maintaining couplers, monolithic 1x3s and 1x4s, as well as a multimode power combiners used in high power fibre lasers.

We also specialise in the custom packaging of semiconductor devices for a variety of applications and our clean room facility includes equipment for die attach, wire bonding as well as hermetic sealing and testing (fine and gross leak).

G&H’s custom modules are assemblies of passive and/or active optical components designed to provide added functionality. An in-depth understanding of optical component performance, combined with the use of low loss G&H components, ensures the highest possible specifications. Our module design and manufacture capability enable you to stay focused on your core competence, whilst reducing time to market and development costs.

A Gooch & Housego Company

Gooch & Housego completed the acquisition of EM4, Inc. on 25th January 2011.

EM4 designs, develops and manufactures state-of-the-art, ruggedised, optoelectronic components and packages for the Aerospace & Defence, Life Sciences, Telecommunications and Industrial markets.

EM4 specialises in “active” fibre optic components and sub-systems. Their products include: -
Direct modulation laser transmitters for analog RF over fibre links
High speed detectors
Fibre laser pumps & components
Fibre amplifier pumps & components
Gooch & Housego’s fibre optics facility in Torquay specialises in ‘passive’ fibre optic technology and both operations share expertise in photonic packaging. When combined, the capabilities of EM4 and G&H Torquay allow Gooch & Housego to provide complete end-to-end fibre optic systems.
