About
Nexus Photonics is a heterogeneous-integration photonics company based in Santa Barbara, California. Founded as a UCSB spinout, it commercializes wafer-scale on-chip laser integration across UV-to-IR wavelengths. Nexus combines III-V active materials with silicon-nitride passive waveguides on silicon wafers to deliver fully integrated photonic chips with on-chip light sources, including the world's first electrically pumped heterogeneous GaAs-on-SiN lasers operating below the silicon bandgap. The platform serves quantum computing, quantum sensing, atomic-physics experiments, AR/VR, autonomous vehicles, and PNT (positioning, navigation, timing) customers that need tightly integrated optical sources at scale.
