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

The Bright Silicon Technologies Lightfield Directing Array provides breakthrough performance across a number of high-impact applications:

• LIDAR - Robust performance at a cost point for automotive applications

• 3D Printing - High-power, fully adaptive beam management for improved speed and quality

• AR / VR - Compact packaging for mobile adaptive image generation

• Optical Communications - Precision pointing alternative to gimbals and fast-steering mirrors for telecommunications

• Optical Control - Coherent wavefront control, beam combining, and optical switching arrays for scientific applications
