Bright Silicon Technologies
Exquisite Control of Light
TECHNOLOGY
Bright Silicon Technologies is commercializing the Lightfield Directing Array for precision digital control of light. Leveraging developments for high performance optical beam control at the National Ignition Facility within Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) , Bright's Lightfield Directing Array offers a number of highly-differentiated features:
Combines low-cost benefits of silicon microfabrication with flexibility of additive manufacturing
Ability to trade off high-speed (10's of kHz) and large range of motion (10's of degrees)
Arbitrarily large apertures comprised of arrays of independently controlled mirrors
Full tip / tilt / piston control for 3D coherent beam control
High fill factor (>99%) to maximize SNR and support high-power applications
Stable operation under shock and vibration through innovative mirror constraints
Closed-loop control for precise positioning across operational and environmental variations
