Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are optical elements that are made of micro- or nano-scale structures and used for modulating and transforming light in a predetermined way. They have multiple applications in, for example, gratings, lenses, filters, lasers, and holographic 3D light fields.

Optical waveguides are a particular type of DOEs for low-loss guidance of light. These waveguides are the essential optical components for augmented and mixed reality, i.e. (AR/MR) goggles and screens as well as ultrafast and ultrahigh bandwidth telecommunication and computing.

Holographic optical elements (HOEs) are optical elements that use holographic imaging processes. Their ability to implement various optical functions in a single flat device is employed for a range of applications; holographic optical element-based applications, data storage, head-mounted displays, lens arrays, and solar concentrators.

Optical Security Devices (OSDs), used by governments and major brands, can be found on various identification cards, banknotes, secure documents, and on branded goods and media. These OSDs provide protection against counterfeiting, protect copyright, and provide tamper evidence features. ​

Stensborg has experience working with advanced optical films for solar cells (photovoltaic, PV), examples include, manufacturing filters for colouring cells, transparent cells, and flexible surfaces.

Manufacturing of microscopic structures for microfluidic applications for the health sector is another of Stensborg expertises. We use our manufacturing equipment on a rolling production line, which provides a cost advantage in the manufacturing of large volumes of Point-of-Care testing devices.
