Meta Surface Beam Shaping
Meta Optic Emitter Receiver
Antiglare Film
Problem Statement :
* Beam shaping optics are important for improving laser manufacturing, optical sensor performance, Time-of-Flight (TOF) depth sensing
* Beam shaping optics need:
1) Control output light shape
2) Single component (robust + lower cost)
3)Robust / High damage threshold (laser manufacturing)
PlanOpSims task was to design a meta-surface top-hat beam shaper for an incident Gaussian beam

Reading time: 10 minutesWritten for: optical engineers, photonics engineers, researchers, technology scouts. Extra-relevant if you are interested in: meta-surfaces, spatially varying polarization (e.g. S-plate, Q-plate,
PlanOpSim has used a number of optical techniques for characterization and parameter extraction from thin film materials. The most important optical parameters extracted are: Refractive
Projectors work best when they project onto a wall in front of them. But that wasn’t an option in this project, where an array of
Since many years, OLEDs are known for producing the highest quality displays. OLED displays are still steadily improving with more and more prototypes of flexible displays.
PlanOpSim’s primary expertise is numerical modelling and design of thin film and other optical components. Next to PlanOpSim’s own tools, we use third party tools as required for the task:
Finite Difference Time Domain simulations of micro-optics
Non-sequential Ray tracing for non-imaging applications: solar concentrators and LCDs
Design of thin film light emitting devices
Our team can help you with testing, design and prototyping of various kinds of photonic and optical applications.
LCD displays and back light units
Multi-projector setups and image stitching
Thin film solar cells
You want the software that models the parameters you need, for the applications you are focussing on. PlanOpSim can deliver custom features, interfaces and even entire models tailored to your wishes. In the past we have delivered the following algorithms for specific analyses:
Light emission and micro-cavity effects in birefringent materials: liquid crystal lasers and OLEDs
Algorithms for calculating light extraction and efficency of OLEDs
Identification of plasmon modes for material characterization and loss analysis
You want to know what is the most robust design
You want to know what is the best fabrication methodology for your specific application
You want to be brought in touch with fabricators the right way
Optical measurement setups for light scattering,
Photometric characterization of (O)LEDs
Characterization of thin films, determination of refractive indices, birefringence and absorption
These are just the areas in which we already have extensive experience. We never shy away from new challenges
