Voyant Helium 4D FMCW LiDAR

Voyant Photonics is a silicon photonics company based in New York (264 West 40th Street, New York, NY). It makes solid-state, on-chip beam steering that replaces mechanical scanners and MEMS for optical communications, machine perception and industrial sensing.

The Helium platform is a family of fully solid-state 4D FMCW LiDAR sensors and modules, launched in December 2025, aimed at robotics, industrial sensing and autonomous driving. In October 2026 the company announced plans for a chip-scale optical circuit switching engine for AI data center networks.

• Helium LiDAR family: solid-state 4D FMCW sensors and modules.
• On-chip beam steering: replaces mechanical scanners and MEMS.
• Robotics and industrial sensing: target use for machine perception.
• Autonomous driving: listed as an application area.
• Optical circuit switching: chip-scale engine for AI data center networks announced in October 2026.

AMR and warehouse robot makers can use solid-state LiDAR for navigation and obstacle detection. Industrial sites in Vietnam can use it for perception in automated vehicles and machinery.

Fully solid-state design removes moving parts such as mechanical scanners and MEMS. FMCW sensing provides a fourth dimension of velocity data alongside 3D position. The same on-chip beam steering is planned for optical circuit switching in AI data centers.

Robots, autonomous vehicles and AI data centers all need compact, reliable photonic components without moving parts. Vietnamese robotics integrators and factory automation firms may source LiDAR modules through distributors or OEM partnerships.

Based in New York, USA. Helium LiDAR family launched 17 December 2025; optical circuit switching plan announced 13 October 2026. No named customers on the website.
