NanoOpto.com :: Technology

Combining two proprietary technologies—nano-optic design and nano-pattern transfer—NanoOpto is making optical components radically smaller, less expensive, denser, more integrated, and better performing.

Our nano-optical design vocabulary defines a growing family of optical nano-structures fabricated on optical wafer substrates. With critical dimensions on the order of tens of nanometers, these nano-structures are smaller than the wavelengths of the light they act on. By adjusting structure and material, the nano-structures deliver desirable attributes not attainable with conventional, bulk optical components.

Nano-pattern transfer is our proprietary methodology for fabricating optical nano-structures on wafer substrates. Similar to semiconductor fabrication, nano-pattern transfer delivers the same commercial benefits: low-cost, high-yield, high-volume production that is easily scaled to demand.
