Meta Optics
Nanoimprint-based mass production to deliver metalenses for the mass markets
Meta optical elements (MOE’s), also known as metalenses, are optimal for various applications as smartphones, AR/MR, wearables, automotive, robotics, and IoT platforms, with applications ranging from depth-sensing and presence detection to face unlock, gesture recognition, eye-tracking, driver-monitoring systems, and medical instrumentation.
Metalenses lend themselves to compact lens and module architectures. In near-infrared applications, the lenses are produced using a silicon-on-glass substrate, which makes them mechanically robust and thermally stable.
NILT MOEs are manufactured and assembled using semiconductor-class equipment and deliver consistently high performance in mass production.
