The High Light

At Xtreme Photonics we develop deep tech photonics to enable the most advanced control of extreme light.

We engineer next-generation metasurface and nanophotonic solutions to master extreme-light environments—from high-intensity lasers
to deep-space optics.

Photonic innovation for a bright future

Xtreme Photonics is a Lisbon-based spin-off from INESC (founded 2025) developing photonic technologies to control extreme light. Led by a PhD photonics scientist with more than a decade of R&D experience, we combine cleanroom nanofabrication with advanced laser testing to deliver compact, high-performance optical solutions.
