That Extra Monte Carlo Tolerance Analysis Just Might Save Your Next Defense Project
Monte Carlo tolerance analysis can uncover optical performance issues long before they jeopardize a defense program. By pairing statistical modeling with rigorous metrology, Optikos ensures that as‑built systems perform exactly as predicted, reducing risk, improving manufacturability, and delivering mission‑ready reliability.
Webinar | Optomechanical Techniques for Optical Compensation of High-Performance Imaging Lenses
Explore practical optomechanical strategies for correcting manufacturing and alignment errors in high‑performance imaging lenses. This webinar from Optikos covers compensator design, implementation methods, and scalable alignment techniques to improve optical performance and production efficiency.
Non-Negotiables for Space: Testing Optics via Vacuum-Compatible Metrology Solutions
Optikos engineers design vacuum‑compatible optical metrology systems that help space‑bound optical payloads perform exactly as intended once they leave Earth. Built with NASA low‑outgassing materials and space‑flight‑heritage design principles, these systems give teams the confidence they need before launch.
Conference | SPIE Defense + Security | 26 – 30 April 2026 | National Harbor, Maryland
Meet Optikos at SPIE Defense + Security 2026. At Booth #521, we’ll be showcasing advances in riflescope metrology, refractive imaging alignment, and precision optical engineering. Our team will also present new research in dual‑band metrology, optomechanical correction techniques, and scalable lens assembly production.
The Photonics Industry Is Growing Up: Our Take on Photonics West 2026
As the most anticipated optics and photonics show of the year, SPIE Photonics West brought together the global engineering community each year to advance the science of manipulating light. From a great attendance to our talks hosted by Dr. David Biss on “Correlating final system performance metrics with design metrics of optical imaging systems in biomedical devices” and “Sensitivity to temperature variation in monometallic Cassegrains” to business driving conversations on optical innovations and a meaningful …
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 …
Quality, the Cornerstone of Optikos Performance
We don’t talk about quality as much as we could at Optikos; That’s because quality is inherent to our DNA. It forms a consistent thread through every stage of product development and validation. Whether we’re calibrating MTF (Modular Transfer Function) test systems across market functions, designing the optical focus verification system for NASA tracking telescopes, or engineering firsts like the …
