About the Company

Metalenz

Designs metasurface-based optical systems

Metalenz designs and manufactures metasurface-based optical systems that use nanoscale structures to control light’s phase, intensity, and polarization, enabling flat metalenses that replace bulky curved lenses. Their metasurfaces can be produced in standard semiconductor foundries, allowing scalable, mass-market production. Key products include Polar ID, a polarization-sensitive biometric face-unlock system for smartphones, and Orion Pattern Projectors, compact structured-light projectors for 3D depth sensing in mobile devices, robotics, AR/VR, and IoT. The company differentiates itself by licensing foundational metasurface IP from Harvard’s Capasso Lab to offer multifunctional, single-layer optics that improve efficiency and simplify the supplier chain, with the goal of making smaller, cheaper, and more capable optical systems for consumer electronics, automotive, robotics, and industrial applications.
