We’re shining a light on the industry’s blind spot

The petrochemical industry has been held back by slow lab cycles and on‑site guesswork. Legacy tools like gas chromatographs are bulky, expensive, and rarely fast enough for real‑time decisions and control.

Lightwave changes that. By tightly integrating our photonic‑IC Raman‑on‑chip hardware with our Raman Foundation Model, we deliver instant, field‑ready chemical insight in a rugged, low‑cost package.

The Lightwave
Spectroscopy System

A compact Raman‑on‑chip spectrometer and the Raman Foundation Model (RFM) work together to interpret spectra in real time, purpose‑built for oil & gas environments.

What is Raman Spectroscopy?

01

Laser

A laser illuminates a sample (which can be made up of a solid, liquid, or gas).

02

Spectrum

A small portion of the scattered light shifts in wavelength (the Raman effect). That shift is a molecular “fingerprint.”

03

AI RFM interprets

Our RFM interprets the spectrum to identify composition and properties.

04

Real-time insights

Delivers results to operators and control systems about every 10 seconds.

05

Action

Our software output augments or replaces slow gas chromatographs, shortens start-ups, and tightens purity control.

Built for energy, designed to scale

Oil & Gas Applications

01

Well Sites

Drill smarter with on-site rock and fluids chemistry for better location and well reserves decisions.

02

Pipelines & Metering Stations

Real-time product quality validation across custody transfer meters and pipelines for accurate pricing.

03

Refineries, NGLs, & Gas Processing

Optimize distillation control and reduce off-spec through routine analysis across the transformation process.

04

Reactors & Bioreactors

Monitor reaction conversion and selectivity, and drive feed/temperature control to hit endpoints without over-processing.

Looking ahead to
future industries

While our focus is energy, the platform adapts to food, water, life sciences, and advanced materials. Wherever rapid, non‑destructive chemical analysis creates value, Lightwave can help.
