Delivering new sensing capability enabled by nanostructured optics that are built for size, weight, and power-constrained platforms
Metasurfaces: Optical Functionality Engineered at the Nanoscale
Nanostructured optical metasurfaces consolidate multiple sensing functions into a single compact module, reducing complexity, cost, and SWaP. Implemented as thin, filter-like elements, they can be added as modular upgrades to existing systems, introducing new capabilities without architectural overhaul. Their scalable, wafer-level manufacturing enables high-volume production with low supply chain risk.
Metasurface-Enabled Sensing Technologies
Simultaneous Dual Field-of-View Sensors
Metasurface optical elements enable compact sensor architectures with multiple, co-boresighted fields of view, supporting both wide-area acquisition and high-resolution identification without moving parts.
Multifunctional Proximity Sensors
A modular metasurface filter enables a single compact sensing module to provide both robust proximity sensing and situational awareness.
Deep Turbulence Wavefront Sensing
Metasurface-based wavefront encoding combined with AI reconstruction enables sensing and imaging through strong atmospheric turbulence, supporting free-space optical communications, directed energy, and long-range imaging.
