Lieven Penninch will be presenting a paper at the METAconference in Dublin

Lieven Penninch will be speaking at the EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Photonics for Optical Design and Simulation & Digital Twins.

CEO Lieven Penninck is joining as expert during the panel discussion of Electro Optics on optical applications that utilise customised lenses.

Meet PlanOpSim 22-24 April 2026 at OPIE26 in Yokohama, Japan.

PlanOpSim is excited to announce that its CEO Lieven Penninck will present an Invited Paper, co-authored with Thales Research and Technology’ Sébastien Héron, at the upcoming SPIE Photonics Europe 2026 conference, taking place in Strasbourg, France. The presentation is scheduled for 2025-04-16 and will highlight the benefits of the co-optimization of metaoptics and refractive optics in infrared optical design.

Join us at SPIE Europe 12-16 April 2026 in Strasbourg, France. Lieven will present a paper on Hybrid meta-surface lens system for long wave infrared applications and give a product demonstration on metaoptics design using PlaOpSimSW.

PlanOpSim is proud to unveil its latest innovation – the Split Area ASM (Angular Spectrum Method), a game-changing feature that dramatically expands the boundaries of metaoptics analysis.

Join us at the Optica Industry Summit on Advanced Optics, on 24 March, Lieven Penninck will present our perspective on simulation-driven optical design.

PlanOpSim and Valley Optics have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate high-fidelity meta-optics design with advanced system-level optical modeling. The partnership introduces a dedicated DLL driver that enables seamless data transfer between PlanOpSim’s MetaComponent software and the Valley Optics platform, allowing engineers to incorporate detailed metasurface models directly into hybrid optical system simulations.

PlanOpSim announces a planned expansion of its successful PDK program with leading metaoptics manufacturer Moxtek with with three new Moxtek PDKs.

Visit PlanOpSim at Photonics West 2026 and come check out our latest demos and capabilities. We look forward to welcoming you at booth 2460.

PlanOpSim is turning lab curiosities like metalenses into practical tech for devices, vehicles, and sensors. This Belgian startup is developing advanced computer-aided design (CAD) tools to make metasurface innovation scalable and manufacturable.
