HyperLight

HyperLight Corporation is a Cambridge, Massachusetts photonics company founded by Mian Zhang out of Harvard University that designs and manufactures thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits. Its patented TFLN Chiplet platform pairs the electro-optic properties of thin-film lithium niobate with CMOS-like, high-volume wafer fabrication to produce IMDD transmitter PICs at up to 448 Gbps per lane, dual-polarization IQ transmitter PICs for 130/200/260 Gbaud coherent links, and packaged standalone modulators with up to 145 GHz bandwidth, aimed at AI and hyperscale data center interconnect, DCI and telecom transport, test and measurement, and emerging quantum and sensing applications. The company manufactures through tier-1 foundry and OSAT partners including UMC and its compound semiconductor subsidiary Wavetek on 6-inch and 8-inch wafers, is ISO 9001:2015 certified as of September 2025, and raised an $80M Series C led by MediaTek with participation from UMC Capital, Jabil, Foxconn, EDBI, CDIB-TEN Capital and the Qatar Investment Authority, following a $37M Series B in September 2024. HyperLight is a semiconductor hardware business: its public site covers company, applications, custom development, three product lines, patents, careers and a sales contact, and it publishes no developer program, API, SDK, webhook surface or machine-readable specification of any kind.

HyperLight is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Photonics, Integrated Photonics, Semiconductors, and Optical Networking.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/hyperlight: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  detail: HyperLight makes thin-film lithium niobate photonic chips, not software — hyperlightcorp.com is a nine-page marketing
    and sales site (company, applications, custom, three product pages, patents, contact, shopping cart) where /openapi.json,
    /swagger.json, /api-docs, /docs, /graphql and /llms.txt all return a real 404, every /.well-known/* path returns the same
    404 page, and api./docs./developer.hyperlightcorp.com do not resolve in DNS; the only "hyperlight" packages on npm, PyPI
    and crates.io belong to the unrelated hyperlight-dev sandboxing project.
