• Advanced Photonix: developing terahertz imaging technologies

• Alfalight: a specialist in manufacturing high-power laser diode and systems

• Genia Photonics: ultrafast fiber lasers suitable for chemical detection

• InView Technology Corp: infrared and hyperspectral imaging

• LensVector: “solid-state optics” to replace moving parts in autofocus cameras

• OpGen: optical mapping for whole genome analysis

• Semprius: concentrated photovoltaics via micro-transfer printing

• SpectraFluidics: surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to trace airborne chemicals

• Walleye Technologies: microwave imaging to “see through walls”
