OneLight Sensing, a start-up based in San Jose, California, appointed Rear Admiral (Ret) Christian “Boris” Becker as President of the company. Becker completed his 30-plus year career in the U.S. Navy as the senior space acquisition officer and as the Commander of the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, a technology focused organization with over 11,000 personnel around the globe.
OneLight Sensing (OLS) was created in November 2021 by spinning off the SA Photonics’ Sensing Division into a new, stand-alone company. OLS designs and delivers innovative solutions in the areas of lidar and hyperspectral imaging, wideband spatially coherent supercontinuum optical sources, and highly agile fiber-based laser sources. OLS leverages funding with strategic use of the Small Business Innovation Research programs (SBIR) for its product development and research.
