Meet Optikos at SPIE Defense and Security 2026 Join us at Booth #521, where we’ll be showcasing our advanced optical metrology and precision engineering capabilities, supporting high performance applications across defense, aerospace, and complex imaging systems. We’ll be featuring two key innovations central to our defense and imaging solutions: 🎯 ColliMeter for Riflescopes | Precision Parallax Evaluation Improving upon ISO 14490 …
Optikos advances precision optics across space, defense, and semiconductors, TVAC‑ready metrology, objective riflescope benchmarks, and high‑NA microscopy that elevates performance wherever light goes.
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 …
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 …
Every year, experts in the science of light gather at SPIE Optics and Photonics, a leading multidisciplinary event with a rich symposium that ranges from astronomy applications to nanoscience. 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 …
David P. Biss, Ph.D. and Roy Youman View/print as PDF Afocal systems, by definition, produce a virtual image projected from infinity (i.e., the output beam is collimated). Examples include visual optical devices such as binoculars and riflescopes, and afocal adapters that increase the focal length of camera lenses. To perform a modulation transfer function (MTF) measurement on an afocal system, …
