SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Bookham Technologies CEO Andrew Rickman said his
company is expanding its infrastructure to capture expected market growth, and sees little
inventory buildup.
The British-headquartered company (BKHM:

makes silicon-based integrated optical circuits. Major customers include Nortel, Scientific
Atlantic and E-Tek.

Rickman told the Robertson Stephens Tech 2001 conference Monday that the optical chip
industry is being held back by labor-intensive processes requiring precision assembly and
manual labor.

He said the company is expanding to capture major growth, and noted Bookham's mini-DIL
transmitters and receivers were the only things in its product line affected by inventory buildup.

Bookham will release its fourth-quarter results on February 14.
