Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 24, 2024 — HyperLight Corporation, a provider of thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits has received $37 million in Series B funding to accelerate product development and boost production. The company's technology platform, based on TFLN, supports applications in optical communications, lidar, and sensing. 

HyperLight, founded in 2018, released a set of TFLN-based electro-optical modulators earlier this year, and has participated in research collaborations with MIT and Freedom Photonics, among others.

photonic integrated circuit
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is a compact and integrated device that incorporates multiple photonic components and functions on a single chip, similar to the way electronic integrated circuits (ICs) integrate various electronic components. The goal of a photonic integrated circuit is to manipulate and control light signals for applications in optical communication, sensing, signal processing, and other photonic technologies. Key points about photonic integrated circuits: Integration...
integrated photonics
Integrated photonics is a field of study and technology that involves the integration of optical components, such as lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides, on a single chip or substrate. The goal of integrated photonics is to miniaturize and consolidate optical elements in a manner similar to the integration of electronic components on a microchip in traditional integrated circuits. Key aspects of integrated photonics include: Miniaturization: Integrated photonics aims to...
