InPHRED named Advanced Optoelectronics Company of the Year by Semiconductor Review

We are pleased to announce that INPHRED has been named 2025’s Advanced Optoelectronics Company of the Year by Semiconductor Review.

This recognition underscores INPHRED’s leadership in next-generation optoelectronic materials and devices. Founded on nanoporous-semiconductor innovation, INPHRED is advancing two flagship product families: short-wave infrared (SWIR) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and resonant-cavity LEDs (RC-LEDs).

The breakthroughs matter:

• With SWIR VCSELs (1.3–2.3 µm range) INPHRED has unlocked higher-power, safer eye-safe lasers for applications from under-display facial recognition to autonomous vehicle LiDAR.
• With RC-LEDs based on resonance within nanoporous mirrors, the company is delivering sharper optical emission at lower cost and power, broadening access to advanced sensing and illumination.
• These technologies also support energy-efficient optical interconnects for data centres and high performance computing, offering a path beyond copper limitations.

Beyond the devices, recognition by Semiconductor Review reflects INPHRED’s commercial traction: collaborations with smartphone manufacturers, automotive suppliers, wearable-device makers and data-centre operators.

What this means for INPHRED’s stakeholders
For customers: access to high-performance optoelectronics built on material innovation not incremental tweaks.
For investors: validation of a differentiated technology platform that addresses multiple high-growth markets including consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and data centre infrastructure.
For employees and partners: recognition that the work being done is industry-leading, and the opportunity to scale advances into real-world systems.

Looking ahead
INPHRED remains focused on translating its nanoporous materials platform into broader wavelengths and new form-factors. Upcoming milestones include visible-light RC-LEDs (blue/green) for consumer health wearables, and our SWIR-based non-invasive continuous blood glucose monitor (NICGM).

We thank Semiconductor Review for this honour, and we thank our team, partners and customers for enabling this step. INPHRED continues to push the boundaries of how light is generated, shaped, and controlled, in order to deliver optoelectronic solutions for a new era.
