A Disruptive Story
Raydiance began when senior Defense Department officials introduced technology pioneer Barry Schuler to a DARPA project designed to miniaturize ultrafast lasers for military applications. Schuler immediately grasped the compelling capabilities of ultrafast lasers – if they could be liberated from highly controlled lab environments and transformed into small, inexpensive photonic engines that could power many applications.
Schuler brought together a world-class team to build the world’s first miniaturized, computer controlled, software driven “plug and play” ultrafast laser platform. Raydiance’s Smart LightTM technology is transforming a wide array of sectors, including medical micro-devices, clean tech energy, consumer electronics and defense applications.
The company has built the world’s first high-volume manufacturing facility capable of scaling production to thousands of units per year. Further, it has invented key technologies—such as its proprietary fiber delivery system—that support volume commercialization.
By aggregating many markets onto its platform, Raydiance is using volume-manufacturing techniques to drive costs down and open market opportunities. The company is rapidly transforming ultrafast technology from a unique research tool into a practical and broadly accessible platform technology.
The world's first compact, cost-effective, fully programmable ultrafast laser.
