DiCon is uniquely poised among fiberoptics suppliers to meet the challenges of military and defense applications.  Over the course of its 20-year history, DiCon has participated in such defense programs as Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA), Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and Advanced Hawkeye, as well as numerous shipboard systems.

Because DiCon controls key core technologies in its U.S. design and manufacturing facility, it can match the most appropriate technology to application.

In addition to fused fiber and micro-optic products, the company offers a full line of MEMS-based devices to meet stringent military requirements – lightweight, compact, low power consumption, durable, and extremely reliable. All MEMS fabrication is accomplished in-house to allow for production of customized products based on any military standard.

Likewise, DiCon also maintains TFF (Thin Film Filter) chambers in our Richmond, CA facility that allows us to support customized depositions of inorganic “hard” coatings more suitable for demanding applications and supporting a full spectrum of wavelength, ranging from visible light to infra-red.

Our GP700 offers a versatile test and measurement platform that currently facilitates everything from the military’s jet fighter assembly line to its submarine operations.

DiCon’s strict adherence to QMS (Quality Management System) principles allows us to repeatedly turn designs into highly reliable products.  The company currently maintains ISO9001 certification, but is also pursuing AS9100 certification to better support our customer’s needs.

The company also provides life-time program support to its military customer.  This “non-obsolescence” policy ensures products for the life of a military program. DiCon still supports the very first FDDI switch built and shipped in 1986.
