Benefits of Meta-Optics

Simplifying complex optical modules to enable new information in mass markets. Multiple optical functions implemented in a single, flat optic allow for complete control of all information in light. Our metalens technology brings the precision of the semiconductor foundries and optics together for the first time.
What are Meta-Optics
01
When compared to traditional diffractive optics (DOEs), meta-optics (MOEs) produce substantially less stray light and have higher imaging performance at low f/# and across temperature.
02
4x improvement in signal to noise in 3D imaging systems.
03
Complete control over the intensity, phase, and polarization of every photon of light.
04
Multifunctional meta-optics replace an entire set of refractive/diffractive lenses, reducing the cost of lens integration, assembly, and alignment.
05
Metalenses are fabricated with a single semiconductor layer for high yield, cost effective mass production.
06
Extreme temperature stability enables worry-free reflow.
