Artilux

Artilux (光程研創) is a Taiwanese technology company specializing in germanium-on-silicon (GeSi) photonics. The company describes itself as an "AI Photonics Platform Powered by GeSi," positioning its technology as a foundation for cloud AI, edge AI, and physical AI applications. Its platform spans optical interconnects for AI infrastructure, photonic analog computing, quantum computing enablement, and advanced optical sensing. Artilux's product portfolio is organized around three AI domains: Cloud AI, Edge AI, and Physical AI. Under Cloud AI, the company offers Connect (ultra-high-throughput optical interconnects for AI infrastructure), Inception (photonic analog computing for trillion-parameter AI), and Odyssey (a photonic platform for scalable quantum computing). For Edge AI, it provides Inception as a hybrid optoelectronic processor for on-device inference and Connect for high-speed optical connectivity in consumer and industrial devices. In Physical AI, the Aware series delivers advanced optical sensing for health and human-centric applications, while Explore focuses on spatial perception and environment understanding. The Aware series, a flagship sensing product line, uses GeSi broad-spectrum photonic sensing for connected health. It provides tiny, non-invasive modules for skin detection, moisture analysis, heart rate monitoring (HRM), heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure, and glucose insight. Engineered for wearables, hearables, and handhelds, Aware operates from NIR to SWIR wavelengths with a monolithic GeSi architecture and ultra-low power consumption. The company emphasizes a 12-inch CMOS-ready form factor and unified optics for robust in-ear detection and vital sign monitoring. Artilux maintains offices in Hsinchu and Taipei, Taiwan; Menlo Park, California, USA; and has plans for locations in Shenzhen, China, and Seoul, South Korea. The company's core beliefs are summarized as ACC: Appreciation, Consistency, and Curiosity. Its CEO has articulated a vision of building a "legendary company" based on the success of its people. Artilux continues to announce new products and collaborations, such as the Inception hybrid optoelectronic architecture (April 2026) and a strategic collaboration with QuiX Quantum (February 2026).
