New software from Sandia lets users design sciencefiction-like materials with the same efficiency thatarchitects use when they draft building plans.Sandia has created the first inverse-design software foroptical metamaterials. That means users start by describingthe result they want, and the software fills in thesteps needed to get there. The modern design approachtakes guesswork out of engineering […]
“This awards program is so well recognized across the R&D community. Being named as one of the R&D 100 is an incredible honor,” said Paul J. Heney, Vice President, Editorial Director for R&D World. “These 100 winning products and technologies are the disruptors that will change industries and make the world a better place in the coming

Mirage lets users start by telling it the optical property they want–how their metamaterial needs to interact with light–and their starting materials. Mirage generates designs that match those criteria from a library of more than 100 templates. Or, users can draw their own designs, and the program will check them for errors.

Sandia National Laboratories has created the first inverse-design software for optical metamaterials — meaning users start by describing the result they want, and the software fills in the steps to get there. The modern design approach takes guesswork out of engineering as-yet theoretical technologies like ultracompact, high-performance cameras and cloaking armor that could make wearers

Sandia National Labs was asked to present MIRaGE tool during the D60 event for the Defense Sciences Office (DSO). D60 was a three-day Symposium hosted by DARPA in honor of its 60th Anniversary on September 5-7, 2018. The Symposium highlighted DARPA’s innovative approach to creating breakthrough technologies and capabilities from the Agency’s past, present, and

MIRaGE is a new and ongoing R&D area, and as such, our governing entities require some additional information to be gathered and reviewed before distribution.
Acquiring a copy of MIRaGE is a two-step process. The first step will be on the following page when you click the button below. This step is an in-depth questionnaire called the Participant Data Sheet (PDS) and is used to review eligibility.
The second step involves the approval and signature of a Government Use Notice (GUN), which allows entities that either 1) hold an existing government contract with DARPA or another Federal Agency and have a need for the software or 2) have negotiated access to the software through DARPA.
Once the GUN is signed you will receive credentials via an email that allow you to download and install MIRaGE.
If you have issues with the process or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at help@mirage-software.com.
