(Uviquity: Raleigh, NC) -- Uviquity, a deep-tech company developing integrated photonics for ultraviolet wavelengths, has announced its first product: a chip-scale laser operating at 229 nm.

This laser is the first in the world at this wavelength produced from a single semiconductor chip, and delivers collimated, narrow line width, spectrally pure output suitable for demanding analytical and inspection applications. Uviquity will begin sampling to OEM partners during the fourth quarter of 2026, supporting instrument developers in semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production, petrochemical processing, environmental monitoring, and defense applications.

The laser is built on Uviquity’s aluminum nitride (AlN) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform, which generates deep-UV output through second harmonic generation (SHG) in proprietary AlN waveguides and is protected by more than 20 pending patents.
