| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Contingent Obligations On January 25, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Morton (the “Morton Acquisition”). Morton specialized in the development and manufacturing of advanced silicon photonics-based component and sub-system technologies. The acquisition date fair value purchase consideration of $3.9 million consisted of $2.6 million of cash, $0.4 million of common stock, $0.4 million of contingent consideration and $0.5 million of other payments and adjustments. In May 2025, the Company amended the equity purchase agreement related to the Morton Acquisition. The amendment added new milestones that, if achieved, require the Company to make the remaining contingent cash payments of approximately $0.2 million and result in the vesting of the remaining 569,444 outstanding shares of restricted common stock. The contingent obligation is classified as a liability and was initially measured at fair value based on an assessment of the likelihood that the related milestones would be achieved. The contingent obligation is subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings. Refer to Note 1 - Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies for information regarding the valuation methodology and inputs used in measuring the contingent obligation. In the fourth quarter of 2025, certain milestones were achieved, and the Company settled $2.3 million of the contingent obligation, consisting of $0.1 million in cash payments and the vesting of 329,678 shares of restricted common stock with an estimated fair value of $2.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses related to the contingent obligation. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $2.0 million of such expenses, respectively. These amounts were based upon changes in the fair value of the unvested shares of Common Stock during the applicable periods. The remaining balance of the contingent obligation included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $3.3 million as of June 30, 2026. In January 2024, the Company completed the SiNoptiq, Inc. asset acquisition. The asset acquisition provides for contingent payments to the sellers of up to $1.5 million in cash and 512,092 restricted shares of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock for achieving certain sales- and development-based milestones. The rights to these contingent payments expire on January 26, 2028. At the acquisition date, the Company assessed the likelihood that the contingencies would be met and concluded that achievement of the contingencies was not probable. The Company does not expect this assessment to change. Additional information regarding the SiNoptiq, Inc. asset acquisition and related contingent consideration is provided in Note 6 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. Indemnification In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it may agree to indemnify counterparties for any losses incurred resulting from breaches of representations, failures to perform or claims and losses arising from certain events specified in the applicable contract. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors. The Company’s maximum exposure under such indemnities is unknown and has not been estimated, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not occurred. To date, the Company has not made any payments related to these indemnities and believes the risk of material obligations under these indemnities to be remote. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims incidental to the normal course of its business. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Potential IRS Interest and Penalties The Company is evaluating potential interest and penalties related to the timing of an Internal Revenue Service payment associated with employee stock option exercises. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of potential loss as of June 30, 2026. No liability has been recorded for any potential penalties and interest.
