Optical Design Engineering for Automotive
Automotive optics design solutions to solve every sensor or lighting challenge.
Engineers must balance performance, styling, safety, regulatory compliance, and manufacturing requirements across a growing range of applications. Keysight Optical Design Engineering solutions help automotive teams design, visualize, validate, and optimize:
- DesignCreate optical systems, lenses, reflectors, light guides, and photonic components.
- SimulatePredict lighting, imaging, sensing, and display performance before prototypes.
- VisualizeEvaluate appearance, human perception, and driver experience.
- ValidateCompare simulations with measured material and optical data.
- OptimizeRefine designs for performance, manufacturability, and regulatory targets.
- CollaborateConnect optical, mechanical, styling, and systems teams.
Improve Simulation Accuracy with Measured Optical Data
Real-world automotive materials rarely behave like ideal models.
Keysight Optical Scattering Measurement Services provide BSDF, BRDF, BTDF, and TIS data that can be incorporated into automotive optical simulations to improve accuracy and reduce development risk.
Accelerate Automotive Optical Development
Modern automotive optical systems often require expertise across lighting, imaging, sensing, displays, and system-level performance evaluation. Keysight's Optical Engineering Services team supports organizations developing exterior and interior lighting, camera systems, HUDs, ADAS sensors, and other automotive optical technologies.
Our engineers provide support for optical design, simulation, analysis, optimization, and validation, helping teams evaluate performance, investigate design challenges, and accelerate development throughout the product lifecycle.

Optical simulation helps engineers design and evaluate headlamps, adaptive driving beams, signal lamps, and other exterior lighting systems before building physical prototypes. It supports increasingly compact, dynamic, pixelated, and highly styled designs.
Design, visualization, and analysis tools help teams evaluate optical performance and appearance while checking relevant regulatory, benchmark, and OEM criteria. This makes tradeoffs and conflicting requirements easier to identify earlier in development.
A connected workflow brings optical design, simulation, visualization, measured material data, and quantitative analysis together. Engineers can assess results, identify potential causes of performance issues, refine the design, and repeat the cycle with fewer manual handoffs.
Optical design and photonic simulation solutions help engineers develop lenses, imaging systems, LiDAR components, and other sensing technologies for ADAS and autonomous vehicle applications.
Measured optical properties help simulations more accurately represent how real materials and surfaces interact with light. Engineers can use scattering data such as BSDF, BRDF, and BTDF to improve confidence in lighting, imaging, and sensing results.
Yes. Keysight offers solutions for exterior and interior lighting, displays and HUDs, camera systems, LiDAR and sensors, and optical measurements. Teams can select the capabilities that fit the requirements of each application rather than applying one workflow to every automotive system.
