Spectralics
Spectralics develops optical engines and advanced materials, as a technological infrastructure designed to support the next generation of imaging systems. Applications including advanced displays, interfaces, cameras, sensors, medical devices, and more. Imaging technology serves a key role in enabling industrial and technological advancement. However, it relies on the ability to propagate and modulate light, and in this context, imaging is only as good as the optics it runs on.
The problem
in the evolution to implement advanced technologies and applications; cars and different vehicles are becoming fully dependent on imaging systems such as sensors, cameras, and displays. As the platforms evolve and challenges grow, these systems continue to suffer from physical bottlenecks and drawbacks which affect their ability to engage, acquire and process critical optical data. Today, optical stacks available to OEMs and system makers fall short in supporting advanced imaging applications to their full extent.
Company's solution
Spectralics utilizes nanotechnology and metamaterials to create a new breed of smart dynamic optics for imaging systems. The technology blocks Spectralics develops comprise a hardware development kit based on switchable elements which can be controlled with software and voltage. Spectralics’ stack of real-time-controlled solid-state optical materials is the imaging equivalent of the computer chip. This will allow OEMs and system makers to discard traditional engineering constraints and close the gap between their technological visions and engineering reality.
