PlanOpSim and Moxtek Announce Plan for Three New Moxtek PDKs for PlanOpSim’s MetaCell Metaoptics Design Tool

PlanOpSim announces a planned expansion of its successful PDK program with leading metaoptics manufacturer Moxtek with with three new Moxtek PDKs.

 PlanOpSim NV (PlanOpSim), a leading innovator in metaoptics simulation software, and provider of MetaCell and MetaComponent metaoptics design tools, today announced a planned expansion of its successful PDK program with leading metaoptics manufacturer Moxtek.

  • A 633nm (red) PDK will be included in the next release of PlanOpSim’s MetaCell tool.
  • A 450nm (blue) PDK, and a 940nm (NIR) PDK, are planned for 2026.

 

These complement the existing 532nm (green) PDK, which will be showcased in a demonstrator at Photonics West 2026.

“We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Moxtek,” said Lieven Penninck, CEO of PlanOpSim.  “PlanOpSim was the first commercial metaoptics design software company to provide users with built-in PDKs, and PlanOpSim remains at the forefront with three new Moxtek PDKs.  PlanOpSim is also working with other metaoptics manufacturers and ecosystem supply chain partners to expand the material and process data in our tools, so customers have visibility to the latest manufacturable design choices.”
