Optical Design and Engineering

Our Optical System Architects and Optical Designers are experienced with products intended for a variety of industries, applications and environments.


Optical System and some high-level attributes; optimized for:

  • Commonly used segments of the light spectrum (UV, VIS, NIR, Thermal-IR)
  • Targeted grades of performance & reliability (Consumer, Professional/Industrial, Military)
  • Optimized for specific Imager-Detector-Processor combination
    • Human Vision
    • Machine Vision
  • Fixed-Focal Length, Varifocal or Zoom
  • Usage and Operational Environment
  • Compliance with Government and Regulatory Agency requirements
  • Adherence to industry standards & norms

Optical Sub-System:

  • Imaging Optics
  • Non-Imaging / Afocal Optics
  • Illumination Optics
  • Thin Films
  • Light Sources
  • Waveguides & Fibers
  • Range of optical materials or refraction/reflection mode
    • Glass, Crystal, Plastic or Hybrid (glass-plastic combination)
    • Refractive (Lenses, prisms)
