Lightfinder develops chip-scale spectrometers that deliver lab-grade optical sensing in a miniaturized, scalable form.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

Even the most advanced cameras, diagnostic tools, and inspection systems often depend on bulky, fragile, and expensive optical instruments that are hard to scale and embed where decisions are made. This limits access to high-performance spectroscopy and imaging in critical settings like hospitals, factories, and communications networks, leaving a gap between what light-based sensing can do and how widely it can be deployed.

About our solution

Lightfinder develops chip-scale photonic technologies powered by AI that bring spectroscopy and imaging onto compact, affordable, and robust platforms. By using architectures such as digital Fourier transform spectrometers to turn light into rich, actionable information at the edge, Lightfinder enables faster, more accurate decisions in applications like diagnostics, industrial inspection, telecommunications, and environmental monitoring.
