Nano-Optic Devices is developing a new technology called Digital Planar Holography that allows precise control of light beams using computer-designed holograms. This could enable new types of optical sensors and other photonic devices that are smaller and more powerful than existing technologies. The company plans to initially focus on developing spectrometers-on-a-chip for applications like measuring laser light. Long term, their goal is to leverage their miniaturized spectroscope technology to create tiny integrated sensors. Nano-Optic Devices is headquartered in Silicon Valley with an R&D office in Russia.

2. Summary on the Technology
2
• 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.

 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.
