Secure Optical Wireless Links Integrated On Chip for Critical Communications
Traditional free-space optical systems rely on motorized gimbals and mechanical beam-steering, fragile, bulky, and power-hungry. We replaced all of that with a photonic integrated circuit featuring optical phased arrays.
By controlling the phase of light across thousands of waveguide emitters on a single chip, we steer the beam electronically, with no moving parts, at millisecond speeds, at a fraction of the size and power.
No motors. No mirrors. No maintenance. OPA-based beam control reacts in milliseconds and survives where mechanical systems fail.
Every optical function, emission, phase control, beam forming, co-integrated on a single PIC. Smaller, lighter, manufacturable at scale.
