Company mission
To be at the forefront of sensor innovation inspiring the next generation of technology advancements that will improve life for everyone.
Our take
Many sensors today struggle with low light and fast signals, especially in areas like medicine or environmental monitoring. They can detect light, but analysing it in real time can be slow, power-draining, and often not fast enough for tasks like tracking brain activity or faint chemicals.
Singular Photonics is fixing that by turning SPAD (single-photon avalanche diodes) sensors into tiny computers. These sensors don't just see photons but instantly process their data at the pixel level. That means faster, smarter sensing with less power, perfect for advanced imaging and scientific tools.
After years in stealth mode, the company has just launched two sensors, Andarta and Sirona, and has more on the way. With big partnerships already in place, Singular is set to make a big impact in the coming years, helping us see and understand light in a whole new way.
