Abstract
AOptix Technologies, a laser communication systems provider, has closed an $18m Series B round of financing, co_led by Lehman Brothers and 3i. The round also included participation from existing investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Clearstone Venture Partners. As part of the financing, Brian Paul of Lehman Brothers and David Aslin of 3i have joined AOptix’s Board of Directors. AOptix’s Lasercom systems are built upon an entirely new and radically different core technology called Adaptive Optics (AO). By combining wavefront sensors, deformable mirrors, extremely narrow light beams and precision beam tracking, AO dynamically corrects signal distortions caused by turbulent air and office windows. In addition, AO makes it possible to create an all_optical Lasercom system without traditional optical_to_electrical conversions.This is a short news story only.
