Bright Silicon Technologies is a Pleasanton, California photonics and semiconductor company, founded in 2020 out of work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, that builds solid-state optical beam control. Its Lightfield Directing Array (LDA) is a chip-scale segmented micromirror array — described by the company as "400 micro-gimbals on a chip" — that steers light with no moving parts, offering a plus-or-minus 30 degree optical field of regard at sub-microradian precision, a 350k degrees/second slew rate and 100ns settling time. The company positions the LDA as a replacement for bulky mechanical gimbals and conventional MEMS mirrors in free-space optical communication terminals, LIDAR, counter-UAS tracking, adaptive optics and metal 3D printing. The product is silicon and optical hardware sold to aerospace, defense and datacenter customers; the company publishes no public developer program, API, or SDK.
Bright Silicon Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Photonics, Semiconductors, Optical Communications, and Beam Steering.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
