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.
