Wafer-scale meta-optics for compact imaging and sensing
One Meta-Optics Platform.
Multi-Modal Imaging.
Co-designed optics and computation. Integrated with image sensors.
Build imaging and sensing around the information your product needs. Tunoptix develops spectral, thermal, full-color and narrowband architectures, connecting optical design, calibration and computation with the requirements of your device.
Four imaging paths. A shared design approach.
Choose the information that matters to the task. Each capability has its own optical materials, detector integration and processing requirements.
Spectral Imaging
Selected near-UV, visible and near-infrared bands to capture differences beyond conventional RGB color.
Thermal Imaging
Silicon meta-optics integrated with selected thermal detectors and application specific processing.
Full-Color Imaging
Co-designed meta-optics and computational reconstruction for compact visible imaging.
Narrowband Imaging
Flat receiver optics with band selection for 3D sensing and lidar systems.
Design the optical system around the product.
A patterned optical surface shapes light. Co-designing that response with the sensor interface and processing opens new ways to manage optical space and capture useful information.
Compact optical architectures
Combine selected optical functions in patterned surfaces, reducing element count or optical bulk where the application allows.
Design for wafer fabrication
Connect optical requirements to semiconductor patterning, fabrication tolerances and assembly with manufacturing partners.
Evaluation at system level
Measure image information, signal, calibration stability and processing demands against the product’s sensing task.
Research depth. A system-level approach.
Foundational university research origins
Founded by University of Washington researchers, Tunoptix builds on pioneering advances in meta-optics and computational imaging.
NASA, DARPA, U.S. Navy, & U.S. Army awards
Backed by competitive U.S. government R&D awards, Tunoptix advances ultra-compact, lightweight optics for advanced imaging and sensing.
Co-designed optics and computation
We co-design optics, calibration, and reconstruction around each image sensor and the product’s specific integration and application requirements.
Patented optical architecture
Our patented computational meta-optics combine flat optics with AI-powered image reconstruction for compact, high-performance imaging systems.
Combining deep research expertise with a system-level engineering approach, Tunoptix transforms advances in meta-optics and computational imaging into compact, scalable optical solutions. Our technology enables smaller, lighter, and more capable imaging systems across consumer electronics, industrial automation, aerospace, and emerging sensing applications.
