Empowering the
OCT Industry
We are a team of scientists and engineers dedicated to providing the ultimate optical engine to device manufacturers, enabling the next generation of medical imaging.
Accelerating Innovation
The OCT industry has been held back by the complexity and cost of optical assembly. Manufacturers spend years engineering optical benches instead of focusing on clinical applications.
Our mission is to solve the "optics problem" for the entire industry. By providing a plug-and-play photonic engine, we enable manufacturers to innovate faster and reach more patients.
The Intel Inside of OCT
We envision a future where every OCT device—from handheld scanners to surgical microscopes—is powered by a Gateway Photonics chip.
Just as microprocessors revolutionized computing, our photonic chips will revolutionize medical imaging by becoming the standard, scalable engine for the industry.
Core Values
The principles that guide our innovation and operations.
Innovation
Pushing the boundaries of physics to solve real-world problems.
