Oblate Optics is heading to Photonics West 2026. Visit us in the NextCorps booth (#258) to talk about where metalenses and extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) optics are actually simplifying real optical systems. Bring your tolerances, alignment budgets, scan speeds, and surface challenges—we’re ready for grounded, technical conversations on the show floor.

Extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) meta-lenses use engineered metasurfaces to keep scenes sharp across a much larger depth range than traditional lenses. By extending focus without bulky mechanics, they enable compact, robust optical systems for machine vision, 3D sensing, and precision inspection in demanding industrial and embedded applications.

Oblate Optics has been named the 2025 APOMA Optics Innovator Award winner at Luminate Finals, earning an additional $200,000 investment and industry-wide recognition. Their AI-optimized meta-lens technology is transforming laser marking, beam shaping, time-of-flight sensing, and extended-depth-of-field imaging for precision optics manufacturers worldwide.

Oblate Optics has reached a major milestone: our groundbreaking Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) meta-lenses are now available through Edmund Optics' online catalog. This marks the first time meta-lenses have been broadly accessible for laboratory and commercial purchase worldwide.

Oblate Optics is revolutionizing laser manufacturing with its DeepFocus™ metalenses—ultra-thin, AI-optimized optics that deliver perfect focus on any surface. Their breakthrough technology increases speed, precision, and efficiency across industries like aerospace, semiconductors, and medical devices.
