HyperLight: Your go-to-partner for Thin-Film Lithium Niobate, TFLN, integrated circuits solutions

HyperLight, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was founded in 2018-a spin off Harvard University- with the mission to push the performance boundaries of TFLN integrated circuits for next-generation applications.

In the current market, lithium niobate photonics integrated circuits have been underutilized compared to silicon photonics that promise both monolithic silicon processing and integration with electronics for dramatic cost and power savings.  Silicon’s drawback however is its limited electro-optic performance, which may actually end up increasing costs.

HyperLight’s solution is TFLN. TFLN offers the combined advantage of silicon-like processing for the best and most reliable electro-optic material, with its unique higher cost-efficiency and power performance.  As a leader in the commercialization of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits, HyperLight delivers groundbreaking electro-optic and nonlinear optic solutions with innovative designs and scalable manufacturing processes. Our expertise spans multiple industries, including data center and telecommunication networks, sensing, LiDAR, analog RF signal, and quantum photonics.

HyperLight has a strong patent portfolio, delivering customized, scalable solutions for our customers.  We collaborate closely with our customers focusing on research and development to make customized and disruptive contributions to the advancement of integrated photonics in TFLN.  Our patented designs and proprietary production processes result in electro-optic photonics integrated circuits based on TFLN with ultrahigh performance, meeting the demanding requirements of both low power and high bandwidth applications.
