Optical Consulting Services Provided

Optical consulting services we provide include image processing, reverse optical engineering, custom optics fabrication, and optical design optimization. We are experienced in design for manufacturing (DFM), as well as optimal system assembly and sub assembly. Our optical system design capabilities include optical components and lens assembly system design as well as instrumental design.

Although our staff are experts in their fields, with over five decades of optical design, optical engineering and optical manufacturing to draw on, they are also uniquely accessible and easy to work with.  Our customers appreciate our friendly, approachable manner as well as the passion and commitment we bring to every project. When we take on your custom project, your goals become our own, and we will collaboratively work with your team to do what it takes to make you fully successful.  Whether you’re pushing the boundaries of optical technology or running volume production of a consumer device, we have the capability to help you succeed.

This commitment continues after an optical component or device has left our factories and taken its place in the world. Our help line is available at any time should you need consultation and advice during installation or use. We stand behind our design and optics 100%, and guarantee that every component or device meets all applicable standards.

Innovative Imaging Solutions

A thorough understanding of optics not only enables our engineers to design and produce high quality optics for standard applications, it also gives them the tools they need to find innovative solutions to solve complex problems. We pride ourselves in keeping up with every advance in photonics, and continually find ourselves on the edge of technology advances. Creative design and out of the box thinking enables us to come up with the best solution to every problem, whether that be a complex multipart assembly or a custom lens cut from nontraditional substrates.
