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.
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 …
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 …
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 …

Drop your most intriguing optics question here. Whether you’re wondering about:• Advanced imaging systems• Lens design dilemmas• Measurement …
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 …
Manufacturing means efficiency. At least, it should for any company with global ambitions. This mindset is what motivated us at Optikos to design an efficiency-driven, no-nonsense workflow strategy, something that was inspired by the famous 5S system. After years of continuous refinement, we can confidently say that this approach delivers measurable benefits for both our engineering teams and our clients. …
Being the first to reach a breakthrough in your field of choice is exciting. But it is also hard. And commercial success is never guaranteed. Still, backing pioneers in science and technology is key to pushing evolution forward. This is the belief that drives Optikos® when we choose to support early-stage start-ups with their optics challenges. One such example from …
Whether we are pushing the boundaries of microscopy or advancing surgical techniques through cutting-edge optical solutions, Optikos has been a key driver of life science innovation since its inception.
