MetaOptics Ltd, a developer of metalens technology, has established its U.S. entity, MetaOptics Inc., registered in Nevada. The entity’s formation is a key milestone in the company’s global strategy to deliver meta-optics solutions to North American customers, MetaOptics said. In parallel with the corporate expansion, the company reports a major technical breakthrough in the successful prototyping of a 127-μm diameter co-packaged optical component for integrated circuit and chip-making applications. MetaOptics expects the 127-μm diameter device to set new benchmarks for miniaturization and scalability. The company said it has additionally initiated discussions with a prominent U.S.-based university to co-develop a “tunable metalens” project, aimed at realizing dynamic and reconfigurable optical systems for future photonics applications. Tunable metalenses are an emerging class of optical device, the properties of which can be modified post-fabrication, enabling breakthroughs in advanced imaging, sensing, and AR/VR functionalities. MetaOptics is also actively engaging several major U.S.-based technology companies to explore partnership opportunities in meta-optics solutions for data communications, next-generation sensors, and smart devices.
