November 2026 – MetaStack™ has been selected as a finalist for the 2027 SPIE Prism Awards.
While this is the 3rd time a PlanOpSim product has been selected as a finalist, it is the 1st time in the much more competitive “Cameras and Imaging Systems” category. Our selection in this category is an endorsement of PlanOpSim’s contribution to the larger metaoptics value chain.
Over the past five years (2022–2026), SPIE Prism Awards have recognized metaoptics-related innovations a total of 11 times across multiple award categories, including: imaging, sensing, LiDAR, and optical design software. The message is clear: metaoptics is a commercially relevant technology platform for a wide variety of next-generation optical systems.
