🌟 HighRI Optics and LBNL Win NASA STTR Phase 1 to Advance Polymer Photonic Circuits! 🌟

July 7th, 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that HighRI Optics, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Molecular Foundry, has been awarded a NASA STTR Phase I grant!

This project will pioneer a low-loss, high-refractive-index polymer platform for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), pairing proprietary HRI materials with rapid, cost-effective fabrication to accelerate PIC prototyping.

Huge congratulations to the team—onward and upward!
