Iris Light Technologies

Iris Light Technologies is pioneering a breakthrough chip manufacturing approach for optoelectronic components in the silicon photonics market. The company develops photonic inks—opto-electronically active nanomaterials that can be tuned to a variety of wavelengths—to enable on-chip lasers, LEDs, and photodetectors. Founded as a spin-out of Argonne National Lab and Northwestern University, Iris Light is incubated in the Chain Reaction Innovations program and targets applications in optical communications, photonic AI, medical devices, autonomous vehicle LiDAR, optical chem-bio sensors, and quantum computing.
