Double-Pass Optics
Light through every lens — twice.
Light Unfolding® folds the optical path so each lens does double duty. More zoom, more resolution, more field of view — in the same module. Or the same performance in half the size. [4]

The Problem
In consumer electronics, space and cost are precious resources.
More performance, in less space, at less cost — the universal demand. And the hardest problem in optics.
Our Technology
Light, Unfolded.
A single optics platform that delivers more performance in less space and cost.
01 / 03
Applications
One platform. Every device that uses light.
One physics platform. Tuned per market.
Less space.
Less cost.
Double performance.
- 2 cameras → 1, targeting the same range with a smaller bill of materials. [4]
- Targets 2× optical zoom in the same module — or the same zoom in half the size. [4]
- Thinner modules built for foldables.

How We Work
We design and verify. You build and ship.
We design, simulate, and validate. You manufacture on your existing supply chain — co-engineered to reduce integration risk and shorten time-to-prototype.
Design
Our team plus Lumina™ AI deliver optics tuned to your constraints — size, weight, cost, spectrum.
Verify
Simulation, prototype, and third-party benchmarking (DxOMark) before handoff.
License & Build
You ship through your supply chain. We provide IP, firmware support, and ongoing optimization.
