The Commercial Engine for Integrated Photonics

Bringing to Life Real-World Photonic Products

The Opportunity

Photonics is following the same path electronics took decades ago

Just as electronics evolved from big, bulky, and expensive to smaller, faster, and cheaper for the masses, photonics is undergoing the same evolutionary process. Traditional optical systems, assembled by hand from discrete components, are giving way to photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that combine multiple photonic components on a single chip.

Companies with expertise in photonics utilizing traditional optical assemblies can evolve their products onto integrated platforms, unlocking massive advantages in size, weight, and power (SWaP), while opening a new pathway to lower-cost, high-volume manufacturing.

We provide the infrastructure, expertise, and commercial pipeline to transform technologies into high-volume, manufacturing-ready products.
