Meta Surface optics
design made simple
PlanOpSim software unites the different stages of designing metasurface and planar optics components in one tool. The same software calculates and models the three key steps in metalens design:

Step 1: Nanostructure design
Which structures should I use?
A powerful full wave solver calculates the behaviour of nanoscale elements also called meta-atoms in detail from Maxwell’s equations
Step 2: Component design
How do I combine the structures? Which libraries should be selected?
Arrange nanostrures to achieve optical functions
Step 3: Integration into an optical system System integration
Where should I place the new MoE ( Meta Optical Element ) ?
The results of PlanOpSim calculations can be directly plugged into widely used ray-tracers to calculate the metasurface’s performance in the final application
PlanOpSim runs on any standard desk- or laptop.
No cluster setups or supercomputers are needed.
