Metaoptics – Redefining the Future of Optical Technology with Metalenses

Metaoptics Technologies is a pioneer in the optical industry, harnessing the transformative potential of metalenses, which were recognised as one of the top 10 emerging technologies by the World Economic Forum in 2019. These innovative lenses are smaller, lighter and more efficient than traditional lenses, making them ideal for applications in consumer electronics, IoT, augmented reality (AR) devices and automotive sectors such as Heads-up Displays (HUDs) for planes and self-driving cars.

By leveraging A*STAR's expertise, Metaoptics is driving the next generation of optical innovation, aligning with Singapore’s ambition to become a global leader in advanced manufacturing and innovation.

The objectives

Scaling Metalens Technology

Metaoptics aims to become one of the first companies globally with end-to-end capabilities in designing, prototyping, testing and manufacturing metalenses

Current Global Optical Challenges

The current optical landscape relies heavily on bulky, less efficient lenses that cannot meet the demands of next-gen technology

The impact

 

Through its partnership with A*STAR, Metaoptics has positioned itself as a leader in the burgeoning metalens industry. This collaboration has enabled the company to secure significant funding, expand its operations and engage with top-tier companies in the automotive and consumer electronics sectors. The groundbreaking advancements made by Metaoptics not only revolutionise optical technology but also establish Singapore as a hub for cutting-edge optical manufacturing.
