Singular Photonics, an Edinburgh University spin-off, has closed an oversubscribed $2.15 million funding round to develop a new generation of image sensors typically used in medical equipment and digital cameras.<\/p>\n
Image sensors capture light and convert it into useful information, but they are now approaching the limits of how much information can be captured. <\/p>\n
Singular Photonics is now advancing sensor capability by pioneering the development of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs).<\/p>\n
The investment was led by ACF Investors, with participation from Wren Capital, Cambridge Angels, Scottish Enterprise, Quantum Exponential and Old College Capital.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has been a phenomenal year for Singular Photonics,\u201d said CEO Shahida Imani. \u201cWe\u2019ve already doubled our 2025 sales, we\u2019re approaching break-even, and our customers are telling us exactly what they want from future products. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis oversubscribed round means we can respond faster \u2013 expanding our sensor portfolio and bringing new features to market on our customers\u2019 timelines, not just our own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Singular also announced that Dipesh Patel, the former CTO of global semiconductor giant
Arm, has joined the company\u2019s board.<\/p>\n
\u201cSingular Photonics is transforming image sensors from passive imaging devices into
intelligent sensing platforms,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSPADs have long been viewed as highly sensitive photon-counting devices, but Singular is showing the world that a far greater opportunity is now emerging, and I\u2019m looking forward to helping the company capitalise on that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
