Formline Photonics

Metamaterials for Optical Computation

Idea in Science and Engineering

Introduction

Formline develops next-gen materials that control light. 


Problem

We could replace electronic devices with much more efficient light-based technology, but current materials can't control light the way semiconductors control electrons.


Opportunity

Our photonic crystal material has structural control over light. Inspired by silicon electronic semiconductors, our Photonic silicon material has the potential to confine, route, and process light for next-gen optical computation.
