Design methods

Controlling the optical field, not only the optical surface

Coherent Photonics works across the development cycle—from conceptual definition and detailed design through tolerance analysis, characterization, and fabrication support.

Coherent Field Transformations

Shaping an optical system’s response

Coherent Field Transformations form optical fields with specified spatial properties and provide direct control over focal-spot shape, size, and point-spread function.

  • Custom spatial field distributions
  • Point-spread-function engineering
  • Focal-spot shape and size control

Metasurface components

Coordinated field routing and sensing

  • Multiple optical paths within a common structure
  • Distributed transformations along the propagation path
  • Controlled field formation at the output
