Custom meta-optics

Combined collimation and fan out functionality within a single metalens surface, simplifying the optical architecture while maintaining strong performance. By integrating both collimation and fan-out, the system reduces lens count, alignment requirements, and overall complexity. At the same time, it keeps optical errors low and preserves high efficiency, enabling reliable, compact, and scalable solutions. Solutions can be tailored for everything from a few dots to tens of thousands of dots, with either ordered or random lattice.

Polarization-switching metalenses shrink optical complexity into ultra-thin, high-precision surfaces that dynamically control light behavior without bulky components. By encoding multiple optical functions within a single element, they enable polarization-dependent imaging, sensing, and beam shaping, unlocking greater system performance, reduced footprint, and unprecedented design freedom for next-generation optical devices.
