Founded in 2016, Metalenz has an exclusive  license to the metasurfaces IP portfolio developed in the Capasso Lab at Harvard University,

Metalenz, the Boston specialist in metasurface optics, is moving into volume production at UMC in Q3.

 

The company raised $30 million in a Series B round last year and its technology has been used by ST in time-of-flight systems.

Metalenz’s meta-optic technology has the potential to enable the design of smaller, lighter, and more efficient optical systems.

 

With UMC’s  manufacturing capabilities Metalenz will be able to accelerate the development of its meta-optic products and bring them to market more quickly as a direct supplier to OEMs.

The first designs to go through the newly established supply chain will be for Chinese OEM, DiluSense.
