Energy, defense, space, and fusion are four unrelated emerging applications that all need one new primitive: a high-energy-density projection that crosses vacuum, carries no mass, focuses at range, and scales with power. Holonomy Systems develops next-gen high-power surface-emitting lasers (SEL): on a wafer-scale platform, we turn semiconductors into a photon-engine platform that provides this energy-projection primitive. First product form: a kW-class high-power SEL semiconductor pump source.
