Pixcel

PIXCEL Inc. is an early-stage deep-tech startup developing cutting-edge silicon photonics solutions and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for optical communications and related systems. Based in Matawan, NJ, and co-founded by silicon photonics veteran Long Chen (previously at Cisco Systems and Acacia Communications), the company designs passive and active photonic components and collaborates with foundry partners to optimize process design kits (PDKs). PIXCEL is a hardware and semiconductor company with no public API, developer portal, or software product surface at this time; it was surfaced as a portfolio company of Matrix Partners and added to the API Evangelist network as a lead. This profile reflects an enrichment pass that confirmed there is no API surface to catalog.

Pixcel is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, B2B, Silicon Photonics, Photonics, and Semiconductors.

Pixcel’s developer surface includes support and 3 more developer resources.
