According to Omnitron, its technology enables optical cross-connects in AI data centers, optical subsystems in long-range lidar for autonomous navigation, see-through displays in extended reality headsets and eyewear, and precision laser spectrometry for methane gas detection. The company said that its fabrication intellectual property addresses longstanding limitations in cost and labor intensiveness related to the production of MEMS sensors.
