Dr. Lieven Penninck interviewed on the past, present and future of PlanOpSim, Meta Optics by José Pozo, CTO Optica. Vision for metalens design & simulation.
” The introduction of more advanced AI offers great new opportunities. Dr. Penninck points to the necessity of identifying the right model for the right method. And while there is no miracle solution, AI can help design at record speed. A multi-step design process gives you the ability to run scenarios and create prototypes with AI – streamlining time constraints and costs in moving to mass production. “

PlanOpSim named as one of the frontrunners in the Metalens Revolution by LaserFocusWorld
” Their multiscale simulation approach treats the subwavelength structures of the metaatoms with a full Maxwell solution and applies appropriate approximations on the component and system scale where a full wave solution is extremely time and memory consuming. “
