DOE technology
Diffusers
NTLight® technology brings significant value to a range of applications.
The MP-ready DOE catalog of diffusers includes elements that start from 63°x56° and go to 82°x72°, with multiple elements with a field of illumination in between.
- Standalone Diffusers deliver low-module height, high optical efficiency for energy saving, and low zero order.
- Pair diffusers with collimators for a sharp illumination intensity profile.
- Our DOE is polymer on glass substrates.

Dot Projectors
NILT offers high-performance projector architectures.
- DOE dot projectors exhibit good efficiency and uniformity, enabling them for a range of applications
- DOE collimators deliver precise control of effective focal lengths and low unit-to-unit variation compared to refractive collimators, facilitating module assembly.
Reach out to us to customize dot projectors to your requirements and application.
Integrated and advanced optics
NILT NTLight® offers multiple functional parts integrated side-by-side on the same substrate. This capability can deliver
- Multiple fields of illumination of the same element
- Diffuser and Fanout on the same element
- Different collimators on the same element
- Ask us about other multi-functional requirements
The advantage
NTLight is NILT’s state-of-the-art technology for transmit-side applications.
NTLight gives you innovative possibilities with unique flat optics compared to classical refractive optics.
High precision masters
NTLight® DOE technology uses “best-in-class” e-beam lithography expertise to create binary, 4-level, 8-level, and higher levels of DOE structures.
An established replication process
Our nanoimprint replication is established for mass production and verified in a Time-of-Flight (ToF) component.
New features, New trade space
New technologies bring new features and new tradeoffs compared to classical refractive solutions. NILT’s fast prototyping helps our customers learn by prototyping.
NTLight innovation
Exploit the new space for your application as it continues to evolve and deliver more design freedom over the conventional refractive lens and MLA solutions.
