No extreme aspect ratios: high efficiency with high yield
Large-area optics: metalenses up to ~1” diameter
Validated models: measured efficiency within 1% of simulated
High-index nanoimprint: direct replication in n = 1.9 resist
Scalable process: functional optics without deposition or etch
Demonstrating a mass production process for visible AR optics at consumer price points.
This study showcases a production-ready route to scalable, cost-efficient AR optics by directly replicating multilevel metalenses in stable, high-index inorganic NIL resists. Multilevel metalenses deliver high optical efficiency without extreme aspect ratios which reduce yields. The result is a manufacturable solution that bridges cutting-edge metalens design and consumer-ready AR applications.
