Empowering integrated photonics for communications and computation.Ìý
The ²ÊÃñ±¦µä Connection
Polaris Electro-OpticsÌýInc. was co-founded by ²ÊÃñ±¦µä researchers Noel Clark (Physics), Joe MacLennan (Physics), and Matt Glaser (Physics), together with a former student in their lab, Cory PecinovskyÌýand CEO Jason Sickler. Polaris’ technology uses ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals to offer the highest speed and most energy-efficient integrated photonics products for applications in both communications and computing. Polaris closed a $3 millionÌýseed financing round in 2023. In 2021, the team completed the I-Corps Hub WestÌýResearch-to-MarketÌýprogram—by Venture Partners at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä—and won the Lab Venture Challenge (LVC)Ìýand in 2022, they completed the Ascent Deep Tech Accelerator and pitched at Destination Startup.
