Dotfarm® Optics is a technology platform for the production of high-performance and, at the same time, cost-effective light- guiding systems. It can be used in applications especially in the fields of consumer electronics, signal processing and photonics. The technology is based on the creation of optical waveguides with three-dimensional grid structures directly on the surface of the respective component. In the process, individual grids ("dots") are formed locally; their characteristics, such as grid constant, size, shape or vector, are individually configured. Many different types of components can be enhanced in this way. An optical overall design tailored to the specific application produces an optimised light mixture and characteristic light distribution in a space. The required precision is achieved through the use of a special nanocomposite material. Due to its extremely fast processing time this special material, in combination with the finishing process established by Nanogate, allows highly efficient cost structures. With Dotfarm® Optics Nanogate makes it possible for its clients and partners to manufacture highly sophisticated diffractive structures for cost-effective mass components.
