Bright Silicon Technologies
Exquisite Control of Light
TECHNOLOGY
Bright Silicon Technologies is commercializing the Lightfield Directing Array for precision digital control of light. Originally developed for high-performance defense applications within Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the Bright 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
APPLICATIONS
The Bright Silicon Technologies Lightfield Directing Array provides breakthrough performance across a number of high-impact applications:
