CiDRA is developing a range of unique, wavelength-agile photonic components and subsystems for precise wavelength management and control for the optical telecommunications industry. These products leverage the company's tunable Bragg grating technology, bringing new performance and increased flexibility to next-generation networks.

CiDRA Corporation ( http://www.cidra.com ) , a privately-held, Connecticut-based company, was founded in 1996. CiDRA's foresight to bring together agile photonic components, modules and subsystems with intelligence at the device level will provide a ground-breaking class of smart network systems. These subsystems will make components capable of network efficiency, reliability, utilization and rapid reconfiguration to the architects of next-generation networks.

CiDRA also designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic sensing systems that enable the oil and gas industry to effectively manage reservoir assets.
