Company Overview
OpenLight is a designer and manufacturer of photonic application-specific integrated circuits (PASICs) intended for the datacom, telecom, AI, high-performance computing (HPC), Lidar, healthcare, and optical computing industries. Spun out of Juniper Networks in 2022 with investment from Synopsys, the company provides an open silicon photonics platform that includes integrated lasers, optical amplifiers, and a full suite of photonic components. This is accessible to customers through a Process Design Kit (PDK), which enables them to design their own custom chips. OpenLight also offers in-house design services and manages chip production through its foundry partners, such as Tower Semiconductor. In August 2025, the company completed a $34 million Series A funding round, transitioning from a Synopsys subsidiary to an independent, venture-backed company.
