Lusix
Lusix is an Israeli lab-grown diamond technology company producing large, high-quality single-crystal diamonds using proprietary CVD processes, with dual-use applications in quantum sensing, high-power laser optics, thermal management for defense electronics, and next-generation semiconductor substrates.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Lusix (formerly LGD - Lab Grown Diamonds) is a Rehovot, Israel-based company founded in 2019 that develops and manufactures large, high-quality lab-grown single-crystal diamonds using proprietary Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technology. The company produces gem-quality diamonds as well as industrial-grade diamond substrates for advanced technology applications.
Lusix raised venture capital funding and has developed proprietary reactor technology that enables production of diamonds with superior optical, thermal, and electronic properties. The company operates from facilities in Israel with plans for scaled production.
Dual-use relevance is very high: single-crystal diamond has extraordinary properties making it critical for defense applications. Diamond windows are essential for high-energy laser weapon systems, diamond-based quantum sensors (NV centers) enable ultra-precise magnetic field detection for submarine tracking and underground facility detection, diamond thermal spreaders solve cooling challenges in high-power defense electronics and radar systems, and diamond substrates enable next-generation semiconductor devices for electronic warfare and secure communications.
