High-Resolution Wavelength Meter

HighTechXL is seeking a co-founder to join a new venture built around a breakthrough high-resolution wavelength meter. This co-founder opportunity is ideal for an entrepreneur with strong experience in optical system design, photonics, and advanced metrology who is ready to take cutting-edge research into global markets.

This technology integrates photonics chips with advanced thermal and mechanical conditioning to achieve the most precise wavelength measurement ever recorded: 1 femtometer (10⁻¹⁵ m) at 1.55 μm. Competing electronic and free-space optical systems cannot reach this precision due to limitations caused by noise, drift, and crosstalk.

With a TRL 6 prototype in a 19-inch rack system, the wavelength meter opens applications across multiple markets, including:

• Quantum technology and sensing
• Advanced metrology and industrial inspection
• Spectroscopy and chemical analysis
• Telecommunications

HighTechXL is a leading deep-tech venture builder based in Eindhoven’s High Tech Campus and has launched dozens of ventures with global impact. Learn more about our program to see how we support co-founders in scaling breakthrough technologies.

We are now looking for a driven, entrepreneurial co-founder with deep knowledge in optical systems, integrated photonics, or advanced measurement technologies to take this opportunity forward.
