AI Algorithms for Metalens Cameras

Sign up to download the white paper. Metalenses have the potential to replace conventional refractive optical elements, but they have been hindered by angular optical aberrations, chromatic distortions, peripheral blur, and illumination sensitivity which degrade perceptual quality. But AI is changing the landscape here too. Using a unique visual training set, sophisiticated AI enhancement tools, and new camera RGB filter pattern, MetaOptics Technologies has now demonstrated metaoptic camera performarmance that is approaching that of a refractive lens-based smartphone camera. This new white paper offers more details.  While image processing software can also be used with conventional refractive optical lens stacks, we believe the combination of a metalens plus image processing software will offer a better option in terms of performance, cost and volume for certain applications. In particular, we believe the biometric sensor application market is perfectly suited to adopt this approach. The optical design is intentionally minimal — one

MicroLEDs for Data Center Optical Interconnect: The Big Pivot?

A year ago, only a few microLED companies were looking at the optical interconnect opportunity. Today, nearly all have some activity in this area. While AR glasses remain a hot area, cost and scale remain an issue. Automotive has some clear differentiated applications, but volume production is 4-5 years away. The optical communication need is driven by the boom in data centers as these expand rapidly to support AI. The need here is real and huge, but can the industry develop, test and scale solutions in a short time frame? This is the question a panel of experts took on at SID Display Week 2026. Co-moderated by Sri Peruvemba (CEO, Marketer International, SID volunteer) and by Nag Patibandla (VP, Office of the CTO, Applied Materials), the panel brought together practitioners with direct commercial and research stakes in making this vision real: Setting the Stage: Why Data Center Interconnect Is a
