Lumentum trims guidance after customer cuts order for laser diodes
Lumentum trimmed its guidance for its fiscal second quarter 2019 after a large customer cut its order for laser diodes for 3D sensing.
“We recently received a request from one of our largest Industrial and Consumer customers for laser diodes for 3D sensing to materially reduce shipments to them during our fiscal second quarter for previously placed orders that were originally scheduled for delivery during the quarter,” said Alan Lowe, President and CEO. “With our proven ability to deliver high volumes, years of experience, hundreds of millions of devices in the field, and new product and customer funnel, we remain confident in our leadership position in the nascent market for laser diodes for 3D sensing.”
Revised Net revenue, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share expectations along with the prior guidance range provided in the Company’s fiscal first quarter earnings release and earnings conference call on November 1, 2018 are provided in the table below.

You just read about Lumentum. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Oclaro built Lasers, coherent components and optical modules. What became of it?
Oclaro brought Lasers, coherent components and optical modules to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Lumentum for US$1.8B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Lumentum today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
