Applications

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)

Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology is anticipated as an enabler for the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) market, providing reliability, low cost, low power consumption, and enhanced sensitivity critical for Level 3+ autonomy.

OSCP’s technology meets these targets and can reduce drift errors, facilitating the safe operation of vehicles in GPS-denied environments (such as parking garages, tunnels, and among tall buildings), with insensitivity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), all at a lower price point than Ring Laser Gyros (RLGs) and Fiber Optic Gyros (FOGs).

Drones

Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology promises low cost, lightweight, and low power performance with reduced sensitivity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). OSCP’s technology will increase drone flight range and navigational accuracy, enabling autonomous drones to safely navigate in a wider range of applications outdoors with increased load capacity.

Indoors, the low bias drift allows safe navigation in a GPS-denied environment for industrial applications. Insensitivity to EMI is an additional benefit, facilitating the ability to navigate safely near power lines and metallic objects.

Aerospace

When cost is a factor, Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology promises low bias drift and lightweight, small form factor performance with enhanced sensitivity and immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) for safe navigation. PIC technology may also prove desirable in niche applications involving space, where these demands are even greater.

OSCP’s innovative PIC technology meets the demands of aerospace, at a lower price point than traditional Ring Laser Gyros (RLGs) and Fiber Optic Gyros (FOGs). In the case of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) especially, our technology can increase energy efficiency, flight time, and load carrying capacity.
