Problem
Conventional optical systems rely on bulky, multi-element refractive components that are difficult to miniaturize and integrate into next-generation photonics and quantum devices. These traditional optics limit system compactness, add weight, and constrain performance in applications requiring precise wavefront control, such as quantum computing, AR/VR, and advanced sensing.
Solution
Phaseshift provides a practical metasurface engineering platform that replaces bulky conventional optics with ultra-thin, planar components. The company designs and fabricates metasurfaces—arrays of subwavelength scatterers that control light's phase, amplitude, and polarization at a single interface. Their approach integrates freeform nanostructure optimization with fabrication-aware constraints, ensuring designs are manufacturable and high-efficiency. Phaseshift offers end-to-end services covering design, nanofabrication, rapid prototyping, system-level validation, characterization, and pathways to scalable production, enabling clients to move from concept to real-world integration.
Target Audience
Primary customers include startup labs, research and academic labs, and large-scale enterprises developing next-generation optical systems, particularly in photonics, quantum technology, and advanced sensing applications.
