Abstract

Meta-optic commercialization and manufacturing readiness is an important topic as optics designers begin evaluating meta-surfaces into optics modules. Moxtek has established a volume production line for visible and NIR wavelength meta-optics with a manufacturing readiness level 8. This provides a unique environment to evaluate the uniformity and capabilities of meta-optic manufacturing techniques. With a statistically significant dataset, mild variations in design concept and lens characteristics can be easily highlighted. We will present baseline MTF and efficiency data related to a variety of metalens characteristics. The goal is to highlight unique meta-optic characteristics that impact performance in volume production. Moxtek has manufactured and characterized metalenses in a wide range of wavelengths, lens diameter, and focal lengths.
