Problem
Many modern systems in defense, automotive, space, and communications require high-performance radar, lidar, and RF sensing capabilities, but traditional hardware is bulky, power‑hungry, and limited to narrow frequency ranges, making integration into compact platforms difficult.
Solution
Luxenta delivers custom photonic integrated solutions that combine radar, lidar, and RF functions on a single, compact platform. By leveraging silicon photonics, III‑V, and thin‑film lithium‑niobate technologies, the company designs and fabricates advanced opto‑electronic modules in state‑of‑the‑art foundries. These modules provide ultra‑wideband operation from 1 GHz up to 100 GHz, tunable RF clocks, and integrated RF scanners, enabling high‑throughput data links and precise sensing. The fabless approach allows rapid prototyping and low‑volume production of co‑packaged opto‑electronic systems with user‑friendly interfaces for seamless system integration. Luxenta’s solutions are tailored to the specific performance, power, and size constraints of each application, delivering low‑power, lightweight, and multifunctional photonic hardware.
