Summary on the Technology• Key technology of Nano-Optic Devices is

Digital Planar Hologram, which allows managing and guiding beams of light with any required predesigned characteristics (phase, polarization, direction) .

• This can be revolutionary in optical sensing, similar to the transition from electronic tubes to integrated circuits in electronics.

• Digital Planar Holography (DPH) is a unique approach for designing photonics devices with desired properties to control the light.

Schematic view of a DPH chip

Chip with Digital Planar Hologram DPH consists of millions of grooves - lines ranging in width from several dozens to

several hundred nanometers. NOD spectrometers-on-chip the DPH serves as a diffractive device performing a spectral decomposition of input light by focusing the different spectral components at the different places along the chip output where the linear detector array is installed.
