When Theory Meets Reality at 30,000 Feet: How STOP Analyses Safeguard Optical Performance
There is a captivating quality to concepts that propose stripped-down, simplified solutions. For example, becoming increasingly popular among aerospace engineers is the idea that if you can build an entire telescope from a single material, the system will expand uniformly with temperature changes. The goal is for the telescope to stay perfectly in focus in all sorts of conditions like …
Ultrastable, Ruggedized Optical Systems Are No Longer Nice-To-Haves
What do our customers in defense, aerial imaging, space, and transportation have in common? They all share a deepened need for rugged design and survivability when it comes to their optical components. Just imagine a van that transports packages door to door. In 2025, that van will be equipped with high-resolution cameras that continuously monitor road conditions, detect obstacles, and …

Between August 5th to August 7th, 2025, a part of the Optikos team of engineering experts will attend the exhibition, similarly showcasing our latest and most diverse optical solutions portfolio to …
Tech trends to keep an eye on from Laser World of Photonics 2025
With record numbers of 1,398 exhibitors and 44,000 participants, the 2025 edition of Laser World of Photonics, held in Munich, Germany was a testament to the growing demand for high-grade optical solutions. From the automotive sector in need of advanced sensor systems to the space telecommunication industry’s pull for high resolution space imagery, more markets are asking for stringently performing …
Some Overlooked Thermal Considerations When Mounting Lenses For Aerial Imaging Applications
Aerial imaging applications present a unique challenge when considering thermal environmental changes. A system can experience extremely low temperatures while at altitude and extremely hot temperature while waiting and taxiing on hot tarmac. If the environmental changes are not fully considered early in the design phase, then the system is likely to suffer from performance degradation, reduction of service life …
Parking Lot Parallax
Parallax is something nearly every human, and every animal with a set of forward facing eyes, utilizes every day and they may not realize it. Parallax is the shift in position of objects in a scene when there is a change in the position of the viewer (usually a camera or one of your eyes). Our brains use the parallax …
