Description: Iris Light provides the underlying manufacturing technology for broadband photonic chips.
‍Our platform extends optical precision into the radio and microwave domains — creating ultra-low-noise, high-fidelity signals essential for next-generation position, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems. Built with NanoBLACK™ photonic inks, these devices integrate directly onto silicon, SiN, and TFLN, delivering stable, scalable optical control and frequency generation produced with wafer scale reliability.

1. Portable Optical Atomic Clocks: Optical clocks underpin the GPS system. Miniaturization of the large satellite ecosystem into handheld devices will enable network-level GPS precision for individual devices. Iris Light provides the chip-scale engine powering these powerful navigation systems. This will help transition today’s complex satellite-grade clocks into compact, deployable devices.
2. Microwave Photonics: By harnessing optical frequencies to “clean up” microwave signals, Iris Light’s mode-locked photonic architectures produce exceptionally pure microwave outputs. This capability underpins emerging applications including beyond 40 GHz communications and ultra-high precision photonic analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
3. Defense & Positioning: In military and aerospace systems, Iris Light’s chip-scale optical and microwave sources enhance precision position, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, and beyond 10 GHz frequency communications. Their scalability and stability offer an ideal pathway for integration into 6G networks, satellite platforms, and advanced PNT systems.
