About

Voyant Photonics develops chip-scale Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LiDAR sensors built on silicon photonics. The company's focal-plane array integrates LiDAR, beam steering, and coherent detection on a single semiconductor die, replacing mechanical scanners to deliver instant velocity and depth data without moving parts. Founded by scientists from Columbia University's Lipson Nanophotonics Group, Voyant's platform is manufactured using datacom-grade photonic foundries, enabling semiconductor-level consistency and cost structures suitable for mass-market deployment in autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, smart infrastructure, and consumer applications.
