Technology
A system on a single chip
Built on our patented silicon nitride PIC platform, Brilliance integrates RGB laser diodes directly onto a photonic chip. The platform replaces discrete optics and other functions by miniaturizing them onto a fully integrated chip, enabling compact laser display solutions manufactured at wafer scale.
About Brilliance RGB
Our mission
To enable compact laser display systems that can be seamlessly embedded into everyday products, changing how we see and interact with the world, through our fully integrated laserchip.
Many in the AR industry have already met Kyra at conferences and events, where she’s known for her positive energy and broad application knowledge. Kyra is in touch with many of our customers for system integration and optimization, and is the perfect go-to person for engineers who want to “laser-ize” their application.
“I like the broad range of my engineering activities at Brilliance, combining design work and close customer contact. It’s super cool to integrate our laserchips into applications of so many tech giant companies all around the world. Never a dull day.”
Tim has been fascinated by deep tech and electronics ever since he was a young kid. At Ericsson, Texas Instruments and Sensata Technologies he held many different roles in engineering (Senior Member Technical Staff), strategic marketing, M&A and setting up a new business unit, which is now €500M+. Tim spent 12 years in automotive supplying 100s of millions of sensors to all car OEMs worldwide. Since 2015 he held CEO roles in SME companies such as IC design company Bruco Integrated Circuits. Tim also holds various board & advisory roles and is a fellow at NAE.
"Building a high-potential deeptech start-up from scratch has always been on my personal wishlist. When I met Douwe and other supporters of Brilliance, every piece of the puzzle fitted together and it has been a fantastic ride ever since. We’re in the middle of the Integrated Photonics revolution. Our LaserChip portfolio for AR is just the very beginning of integrating optical functionality onto a single chip. Today’s cumbersome complex discrete optics with separate lenses and prisms will be replaced by PICs, just like electronic chips replaced all tubes and transistors before. It’s so rewarding to help pioneer & scale PIC platform technology and to do it with the FANTASTIC Brilliance team!”
Douwe has been working in the integrated photonics field from the early days on. First as PhD student and design engineer, later in between the technology and customer in various marketing and sales roles in companies like XiO Photonics and LioniX International. He has had a strong interest to connect novel technology to new markets, especially in photonic integrated circuits for use in applications in the visible wavelength domain like life science and miniature projectors.
“When starting Brilliance three puzzle pieces came together: A silicon-nitride based PIC platform for visible light, a sub-micron passive alignment technology and a market for AR glasses that is growing. Together with Tim’s experience in scaling, Brilliance is set for bringing the laser chip for AR to market in high volumes”
Cristina Cunha joined Brilliance from Portugal as one of our very first engineers, drawn in by a curiosity for integrated photonics that hasn't let up since. Today she's part of the team pushing our laserchips into new territory.
With a background in physics engineering and optics, she sits right where ideas turn into products, working with customers on one side, and developing new on-chip functionality on the other.
" Our platform is basically a playground: one chip where we get to add function after function. The fun part is starting from the end system, taking those specs, and tracing them all the way back to where everything begins - the laserchip."
