Podcast EP226: Lumotive’s Disruptive Optical Beamforming Technology With Dr. Sam Heidari
Dan is joined by Dr. Sam Heidari. Sam brings three decades of extensive management experience in the semiconductor sector. He currently holds the position of CEO at Lumotive, serves as Chairman at Arctic Semiconductor, and advises multiple technology startups. Previously, he served as CEO and Chairman at Quantenna Communications, CEO at Doradus Technologies, and CTO at Ikanos.
Dan and Sam begin by discussing the various applications for light in semiconductor systems. AI computing, holographic displays, high-performance compute and 3D sensing are all touched on.
Sam then describes the revolutionary new technology developed by Lumotive. Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) technology defies the laws of physics by dynamically shaping and steering light on the surface of a chip, without any moving parts. This new technology has many applications. Sam focuses on its ability to implement 3D sensing lidar systems with low cost and high precision for automotive applications.
The deployment of the technology in automotive platforms as well as edge computing are discussed with an assessment of the broader impact the technology will have going forward.
