A startup company, MetaRosetta, spun off from the research team of Professor Wang Zhiming at the Department of Optics and Photonics, National Central University, recently participated in NEPCON Japan, showcasing its long-wave infrared metalens wafer technology and successfully attracting attention from international media and industry.

The demonstrated metalens utilizes nanoscale microstructures for optical design, enabling a single structure to simultaneously correct aberration and chromatic aberration while achieving high-quality imaging performance, demonstrating Taiwan’s technological strength in long-wave infrared (LWIR) optical components.

National Central University stated that the team’s independently developed metalens technology and mass production design capabilities have attracted attention from reporters of Nikkei Tech Foresight, a technology platform under Japan’s Nikkei, who invited the team for an interview and published a feature report on the platform.

Wang Zhiming pointed out that MetaRosetta is a startup company spun off from the research team’s technology, formed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in semiconductor processes, optoelectronic design, and system integration. Its core members come from National Central University and related industries, with long-term engagement in metalens and semiconductor lithography research.

The company’s head stated that receiving an interview from international media symbolizes global recognition of Taiwan’s advanced optical technologies. The company will continue to use Taiwan as its R&D base, collaborating with partners in Japan and worldwide to accelerate the industrialization and practical application of metalens technologies.

The research team stated that it will continue to deepen the development of metalens technologies in near-infrared, long-wave infrared, and sensing optics, while collaborating with domestic and international research institutions and industries to promote engineering advancement and industrial applications, enabling Taiwan to secure a place in next-generation optical technologies.
