- LiComm Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based technology company specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of optical communication components, optical amplifiers, fiber lasers, and advanced photonics modules. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, the company is listed on the KOSDAQ market under ticker 388790 following its 2023 merger with IBKS No. 16 Special Purpose Acquisition Company. LiComm operates primarily across the optical telecommunications, hyperscale data center, aerospace, defense, and autonomous mobility sensing sectors, serving global network equipment vendors, telecommunications carriers, cloud service providers, and industrial clients across South Korea, North America, Japan, Europe, and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
The company organizes its product offerings across several core categories: optical amplifiers, optical transmission modules, fiber lasers and LiDAR sensing solutions, and defense and aerospace photonics. Its optical amplifier portfolio includes erbium-doped fiber amplifiers in compact and pluggable form factors, such as plug-and-play SFP+ and QSFP EDFA modules; rack-mounted optical amplifiers; optical gain blocks; and hybrid Raman/EDFA amplifiers engineered to compensate for signal attenuation across dense wavelength division multiplexing, cable television, fiber-to-the-home, software-defined networks, 5G wireless transport, and artificial intelligence data center interconnect infrastructures. Its optical transmission portfolio comprises analog optical transceivers; coherent optical amplifier modules optimized for 800-gigabit-per-second and next-generation 1.6-terabit-per-second high-speed transmission networks; and customized optical sub-assemblies. In the sensing and laser domain, LiComm provides ultra-compact pulsed fiber lasers, pulsed erbium-doped fiber amplifier optical engines, laser rangefinder components, and distributed optical fiber sensors utilized in automotive LiDAR platforms, industrial drones, and structural health monitoring systems for bridges, railways, and wind energy installations. Its defense and aerospace portfolio encompasses high-power optical laser light sources designed for directed-energy anti-aircraft defense systems, space-grade optical amplifiers for free-space optical inter-satellite laser communications in low Earth orbit, and radiation-tolerant photonic sub-modules.
In recent company developments, LiComm has expanded its footprint in artificial intelligence data center infrastructure and advanced strategic diversification into defense and space photonics. The company secured major commercial supply contracts with Fujitsu subsidiary 1Finity to deliver 800-gigabit-per-second coherent optical amplifiers for high-capacity data center interconnect systems while accelerating the development of next-generation 1.6-terabit-per-second optical amplifier solutions. LiComm has also established a growing presence in the defense photonics sector through production contracts with LIG Nex1 to supply core laser light sources for national anti-aircraft laser defense systems. In the aerospace sector, the company entered into joint development initiatives with Hanwha Systems and the Agency for Defense Development to engineer space-qualified optical amplifiers for low Earth orbit satellite-to-satellite laser communication networks, while actively participating in government-backed aerospace semiconductor research consortia. In addition, LiComm initiated commercial testing and sample shipments of ultra-miniature pulsed fiber laser modules to global Tier-1 LiDAR manufacturers for autonomous driving and intelligent infrastructure sensing applications.
