Microscopy
Kymatonics flagship application is aimed at the Light Sheet Microscopy market with Wavelens as a stand-alone device with end-users benefiting from advantages offered in resolution, penetration depth and modularity.
Automotive
Another application of Kymatonics is the automotive lighting, where we have developed a Wavelens proof of concept demonstrator.
Lithography
Laser lithography is an irreplacable method to create mesoscopic free form structures, covering a vast number of fields, photonics, mechanical metamaterials, cell cultures, microfluidics etc. Wavelens can be incorporated into lithography system and increase footprint production or the system writing accurancy.
Structured illumination
SI Wavelens is a customizable optoelectronic device that can be used for Structured illumination offering high contrast, high visibility, user defined, light patterns projection.
Secure Optical Communication over Fiber with Wavelens
Wavelens introduces a new paradigm in secure optical communication through the integration of photonic Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and dynamic wavefront shaping. In such configuration, two Wavelens-enabled devices are connected via a standard optical fiber, establishing a secure channel capable of supporting advanced protocols such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and BB84. Each device operates as a high-speed, spatial light modulation engine, encoding and decoding optical information at the fiber ends. The sender device modulates the wavefront of light carrying secure data, while the receiver device, configured in a mirrored input-output geometry, demodulates or records the transmitted signal. This dual-device setup supports asymmetric communication protocols and allows for bidirectional exchange, with both devices alternating roles as transmitter and receiver. With its native compatibility with quantum and classical optical cryptographic methods, Wavelens enables secure, hardware- anchored communication without the need for electronic post-processing, significantly reducing the attack surface in high-security fiber networks.
Optical PUF-Based Authentication Using Wavelens
Wavelens can be utilized as the core platform in a novel optical authentication system utilizing Physical Unclonable Functions (oPUFs). In this configuration, the system comprises two Wavelens devices operating in a challenge–response protocol. The first device acts as a challenge modulator, dynamically shaping an optical wavefront that illuminates the oPUF token presented for authentication. This modulated light is directed through a beam-splitting system toward the oPUF, where its unique microstructure scatters and reflects the wavefront in a complex, unreplicable manner. The second Wavelens device, operating in reversed geometry, captures the reflected wavefront and applies a tailored demodulation scheme before passing the signal to a camera-based imaging system for verification. The complexity and randomness of the optical paths involved, combined with the inherent uncloneability of the oPUF, deliver a powerful hardware-based authentication mechanism. With this approach, Wavelens enables secure, tamper-resistant user verification, ideal for high-trust environments such as defense, finance, and critical infrastructure
