Our proprietary AI and spectroscopy systems work together to create a low-cost, accurate Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solution for the energy industry.
Request a PilotJoin our newsletterThe 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.
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.
01
A laser illuminates a sample (which can be made up of a solid, liquid, or gas).
02
A small portion of the scattered light shifts in wavelength (the Raman effect). That shift is a molecular “fingerprint.”
03
Our RFM interprets the spectrum to identify composition and properties.
04
Delivers results to operators and control systems about every 10 seconds.
05
Our software output augments or replaces slow gas chromatographs, shortens start-ups, and tightens purity control.
We collaborate with strategic operators through pilots and partnerships to accelerate adoption and validate performance in live environments.
