Systems Engineering

Optical designs should work the first time. That’s why our imaging optical engineers provide full support from conceptual design through fabrication, assembly, and optical testing.

We use CODE V to develop accurate designs and follow them through to hardware implementation after handoff to your team. If you need help selecting a fabricator, we can match your needs and assembly tolerances to a fabricator’s capabilities and help you negotiate a competitive price.

Illumination Systems Design

Drawing from decades of experience, we'll help you quickly realize your design goals for a broad range of illumination optical systems — from light-emitting diode (LED) optics to solar collectors, projection displays, or unique illumination products.

Our illumination engineers use LightTools and LucidShape software to support general illumination systems, backlit displays, and automotive lighting.
