Photonics West - LirOptic launch Technology in San Francisco
On January 27, 2025, in San Francisco, the LirOptic team proudly launched their groundbreaking technology at the Consulate General of Ireland during the Photonics West Exhibition.
We have developed a pioneering optical lens technology that significantly enhances size, cost efficiency, and functionality across various applications, including consumer devices like smartphones, as well as industrial, medical, space, and surveillance technologies.
Our adjustable solid-state lens is a first-of-its-kind solution with no mechanically moving parts. This innovative technology offers features rarely seen in Compact Camera Modules (CCMs), such as optical zoom, variable focal lengths, advanced image correction, and the potential for substantial reductions in module size.
Since mid-2024, with invaluable support from Enterprise Ireland, UCD Nova, and the European Space Agency (ESA), we have been collaborating with a multinational consumer electronics company and a US-based firm in the XR space to integrate this new lens technology and enhance existing optical system performance.
Attending the Photonics West conference allowed us to introduce our technology to the global optical community and connect with potential customers and investors. We’re thrilled to report a resounding success on all fronts.
We extend our gratitude to the Consulate General's office in San Francisco, the Irish Photonic Integration Centre (IPIC), and Enterprise Ireland for hosting the launch event. Special thanks also to Enterprise Ireland, UCD Nova, and ESA for their support throughout our journey.
