We are redefining what’s possible in imaging.

Our computational meta-optics platform delivers compact, high-performance imaging systems that outperform traditional optics—at a fraction of the size and cost. By co-designing meta-optical elements and machine learning-based reconstruction algorithms, we encode rich spectral information at the point of capture and reconstruct it algorithmically in real time.

This end-to-end meta-optics approach unlocks powerful imaging functionality—from full-color to hyperspectral—in modules smaller than a sugar cube and real-time processing. Designed for integration into mobile and edge platforms, Tunoptix systems offer unmatched spectral fidelity, ultra-compact form factors, and scalable, wafer-level manufacturability.

We don’t just imagine the future of imaging—we’re building it.

While digital revolution continued to advance compute and software capabilities, very few improvements have been made in physical optics. Scalability in form factor of the physical optics has been a fundamental challenge facing modern imaging systems, from compact camera modules (CCMs) to space telescopes.

Although emerging solutions such as diffractive and meta-optics are proven to address the scaling challenge, they are limited to monochromatic and narrowband use cases.

At Tunoptix, we are pioneering a new approach to designing imaging systems that leverages the advantages of meta-optics while extending their use into broadband and hyperspectral applications. This approach, software-defined meta-optics, differs from conventional imaging by first designing optics that encode a captured image instead of simply focusing it, which is then reconstructed.

This approach of encoding through software-defined meta-optics is uniquely positioned to provide additional scene information such as spectral content, depth, edges, shapes, etc. enabling next generation imaging systems such as hyperspectral, 3D or other types of value-add imaging all in a smaller, lighter, cost-effective products.
