Manufacturing Limitations and Their Mitigation in AR/VR Photonics Devices
Webinars
Manufacturing limitations can significantly impact metalens and surface relief grating designs. This webinar explores these challenges and demonstrates how simulating manufacturing processes can help create optical devices that minimize performance degradation. In simulations, as-manufactured optical device performance approaches that of the ideal device design.
Photonics devices have been manufactured using integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing technology for decades, running at lower volumes — hundreds to a few thousand wafers annually — because the tools and methods accounted for manufacturing limitations. These same tools are not necessarily applicable to photonics devices. To meet the growing demand for consumer optical devices — like smartphones, sensing cameras, and augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) / mixed reality (MR) headsets that use metalenses, optical combiners, and micro imaging projectors — manufacturing will need to scale rapidly to support high-volume production.
