Swave Photonics Adds $7M to Series A

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Swave Photonics, a developer of holographic display technology, has raised an additional €6 million ($6.97 million) in funding as part of a follow-on investment to the company's series A round. The funding will support the continued development of Swave's HXR technology and expand the company's commercialization efforts.

Swave’s Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology uses diffractive photonics on CMOS chip-based technology to create high-quality 3D images that adapt to the user's surroundings. This technology effectively eliminates the need for a waveguide. The company's DynamicDepth technology allows the images to be processed naturally by the human vision system, bypassing AR's commonly-faced challenges of focal depth and eye-tracking. 

The funds come from existing investor IAG Capital Partners and new investor Samsung Ventures.

Glossary
diffractive optics
Optical elements that use diffraction to control wavefronts. Diffractive optical elements include diffraction gratings, surface-relief diffractive lenses, holographic optical elements and computer-generated holograms. Fabrication methods include diamond machining, interference of coherent beams (holography), injection molding and advanced microlithographic techniques. See also binary optics; holographic optical element.
holography
Holography is a technique used to capture and reconstruct three-dimensional images using the principles of interference and diffraction of light. Unlike conventional photography, which records only the intensity of light, holography records both the intensity and phase information of light waves scattered from an object. This allows the faithful reproduction of the object's three-dimensional structure, including its depth, shape, and texture. The process of holography typically involves the...
