Fourier Optics develops a free-space optical combiner for augmented reality (AR) wearables. The technology is founded on proprietary, computer-generated elements engineered to diffract light at large angles with high efficiency. This system enables selectivity based on wavelength, polarization, and angle.
The company's team includes specialists with expertise in head-mounted displays, metasurfaces, diffractive optics, and the integration of ray tracing with machine learning optimization. Key technical personnel mentioned include Asaf Carmel (VP R&D), Shoam Shwartz (CTO), Yehonatan Rimon, and Igor Tikhonenkov (Physicist & Algorithm Developer). Their approach aims to create seamless AR glasses.
Operating in the augmented reality hardware sector, Fourier Optics focuses on providing a core component for the next generation of smart glasses. The business model centers on developing and supplying these advanced optical combiners to manufacturers of AR wearables. The technology addresses the challenge of creating efficient and high-performance displays for a compact, wearable form factor.
