Programmable optical layers for advanced optical and lithographic systems
Laevon develops non-mechanical, non-volatile programmable optical layer architectures that enable post-fabrication control of optical behavior at the layer level.
Our work introduces additional optical degrees of freedom into optical stacks without mechanical actuation or continuous electrical power.
These architectures are applicable across free-space optics, waveguide-based systems, and advanced lithographic platforms including DUV, EUV, and nanoimprint lithography.
What We Do
Laevon focuses on programmable optical functionality implemented at the layer level rather than at the system or mechanical level.
Our architectures integrate within existing optical stacks and fabrication flows, providing post-fabrication tuning, correction, and reconfiguration capabilities beyond static optics.
Core Capabilities
Layer-Level Optical Programmability
Spatially addressable modification of phase, amplitude, angular response, and optical transfer functions.
Post-Fabrication Optical Control
Writing, erasure, and reconfiguration after fabrication to compensate for process variability.
Non-Mechanical and Non-Volatile Operation
Operation without mechanical actuation or continuous electrical power.
System-Integrated Optical Degrees of Freedom
Programmable layers acting as architectural elements within larger optical systems.
Application Domains
