Objective
The HoloMorPh consortium will develop the first sustainable, direct, closed-loop holo-lithographic platform that uses only light to fabricate, refine, and reversibly or stably lock-in ready-to-use planar photonic components. These miniaturized, high-performance optical elements, realized as micro- and nanostructured surfaces, can surpass traditional glass optics, while enabling ultra-compact, lightweight devices that drastically reduce footprint and complexity of the entire optical system. They promise a transformative impact on display technologies, optical imaging, and sensing. However, mass-producing high-quality planar photonic components remains limited by current multi-step lithographic processes that are inefficient, costly, and environmentally burdensome.
HoloMorPh will overcome these challenges by combining innovations in digital holography, structuring-enhancing meta-optics, and light-responsive materials. The “holomorphing” process will include automatic self-optimization of surface geometries via a real-time feedback loop that integrates digital holographic microscopy as the in-loop metrology sensor, artificial intelligence, and a distributed cloud-based network to enable tuning of the ready-to-use optical elements while they form. HoloMorPh’s interdisciplinary approach leverages the complementary expertise of the team in materials chemistry, holography, meta-optics, machine learning, cloud computing, optical engineering, and environmental science to deliver customizable photonic components for augmented reality, beam shaping, and adaptive optics.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
