Platanus®
Fully Freeform Diffuser Optical Element

A fully freeform diffuser realized through SCIVAX's proprietary algorithm. By incorporating the wave nature of light into the design, it achieves exceptionally high uniformity compared to conventional products. Light distribution shapes such as rectangular, circular, and freeform can be flexibly customized.

Technology Overview
Fully Freeform Design Using Proprietary Algorithm

Platanus® is a fully freeform diffuser realized through SCIVAX's in-house developed design algorithm. By incorporating the wave nature of light (diffraction and interference) into the design, it achieves exceptionally high in-plane uniformity compared to conventional diffusion elements.

Through a proprietary algorithm that integrates light refraction and diffraction, the shape of the light distribution (rectangular, circular, freeform) and the uniformity of light intensity distribution can be designed with a high degree of freedom.

Features of Platanus®

Uniform Diffuse Illumination with Minimal Unevenness

Through proprietary design that considers the wave nature of light, uniform light intensity distribution is achieved across the entire illumination area. Luminance unevenness commonly found in conventional diffusion elements is significantly reduced.

High-Quality Light Distribution with Minimal Interference and Hot Spots

Suppresses speckle and hot spots originating from coherent light sources (lasers, VCSELs). Achieves clean illumination patterns with minimal interference noise.

Flexible Light Distribution Shape Design

Light distribution shapes such as rectangular, circular, and freeform can be custom-designed according to application requirements. Maintains stable light intensity distribution even at wide angles.

Optimal for High-Resolution 3D Sensing

Uniform area illumination enables precise illumination of fine details on target objects, making it ideal for high-resolution 3D shape acquisition at short to medium ranges.
