Optica Industry Summit on Advanced Optics 2026

Join us at the Optica Industry Summit on Advanced Optics, on 24 March, Lieven Penninck will present our perspective on simulation-driven optical design.

Co-hosted by Corning Incorporated, the Optica Industry Summit on Advanced Optics brings together global technology leaders to discuss a major shift in the optics industry: the transition from conventional bulk optics to compact optical solutions such as wafer-level optics, metasurfaces, and other nanostructured components.

As optical systems become thinner, lighter, and more integrated, engineers increasingly rely on advanced modeling and simulation to predict performance and optimize designs before fabrication. 

As leaders in design and simulation software for metaoptics, we are contributing to the program during the session on evolution of design approaches. On 24 March, Lieven Penninck will present on our capabilities for simulation-driven design for next-generation optical components.

Presentation

Date: 24 March 2026
Time: 10:00 – 10:30 AM
Session: Evolution of Design Approaches
