is a Michigan State University spin-out venture founded in 2003 by University Distinguished Professor Dr. Marcos Dantus. The BSI intellectual property allows ultrashort (femtosecond) laser users to not only measure pulses but shape and compress them as well, a dramatic step forward given that shorter pulses improve the utility of ultrafast lasers materially. BSI has been the recipient of several awards and honors, including the PhAST/Laser Focus Innovation Award in 2009 (along with honorable mention in 2007 for this award), and was also a finalist for the 2008 Prism Award for Photonic Innovations.
MAF led the Seed round in December 2012. Assets sold to IPG Photonics in December 2016.
