HyperLight is at the forefront of the commercialization of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) integrated photonics - a material and process technology that is enabling high-performance, scalable optical components across AI/datacom infrastructure, hyperscale computing, quantum computing, sensing, and beyond. Founded in 2018 and backed by leading venture capital, we've built a team and a platform focused on real-world mass deployment of TFLN photonics technology.

At the core of our work is the TFLN Chiplet™ platform — a modular, integrated architecture designed for scalability, manufacturability, and seamless integration into complex systems. It offers a rare combination of extraordinary performance and industrial readiness, enabling system developers across applications to deploy the technology fast and ready. We partner with our customers and suppliers from conceptualization, design, and prototyping phases, all the way through mass production to ensure smooth and rapid deployment of TFLN photonic technology.

This talk will be a broad overview of TFLN technology as well as the various applications it can serve, with a focus on quantum computing.

Kevin Luke did his PhD at Cornell University under Michal Lipson, pioneering frequency comb generation in new wavelength regimes using SiN microring resonators. After graduation, he traveled the world for 2 years, before eventually ending up in Boston, where he co-founded HyperLight. He has transitioned through many roles during the startup journey, from fabricating chips at Harvard to leading large scale customer development projects. In his current role as Head of Custom Development, his team services customer applications that require a high degree of customization, typically for high performance (e.g. ultra low loss for quantum computing applications) or new capabilities (e.g. device operation at new wavelengths).
