About Us & Strategic Focus
Strategic Commercialization Opportunities
The technology is validated. The IP is secured. The platform is ready for scale.
Lumos Imaging has successfully de-risked the fundamental hardware and software stack for High-Definition Snapshot Spectral Imaging. We are now transitioning from R&D to commercial deployment.
We are currently exploring strategic alternatives to bring this platform to mass production. We invite sensor manufacturers, industrial integrators, and strategic investors to discuss:
- Full Technology Acquisition: Transfer of the complete IP portfolio, software stack, and trade secrets.
- Exclusive Licensing: Vertical-specific rights (e.g., exclusive license for AgTech, Medical, or Satellite applications).
- Technology Transfer: Partnership to integrate Lumos optical modules into existing sensor product lines.
Who We Are
Lumos Imaging is a spin-off from the University of Utah.
Our mission has been to translate the complex physics of diffractive optics into scalable, robust imaging solutions. Having achieved our validation milestones, we are now focused on placing this technology into the hands of a partner capable of global scale.
Intellectual Property Portfolio
Lumos Imaging holds an exclusive, worldwide license to a comprehensive patent portfolio. This IP protects the entire vertical stack—from the nanofabrication of the optic to the algorithmic reconstruction of the image—creating a strong defensive moat for an acquirer or licensee.
