Company
Our mission:
To rapidly innovate in photonics and connectivity architectures to enable the massive scaling of compute infrastructure required to deliver the full potential of AI.
Our story
At Lumilens, our team has spent decades designing the optical and silicon platforms that defined how data moved across the cloud and the Internet. But as AI workloads have exploded, electrical and legacy optical interconnects have reached their limits.
So, we set out to build a new, photonics-based foundation for AI infrastructure and data centers. For both scale out and scale up architectures.
But designing next-gen AI connectivity is not enough – you have to build it...smart. Lumilens has invested in cutting-edge, custom robotics and AI-optimized production processes.
Our leadership team
The Lumilens leadership team brings deep experience in both photonics engineering and system-level infrastructure design from Cisco, Juniper, Meta, Lumentum and Coherent.
