Product Development
Our core competency in optical engineering allows us to provide optically-based design for any product or application
Where other optical consulting firms might offer only lens design services, Optikos has built its reputation on providing our clients with access to broadly skilled optical problem solvers who provide solutions and continuity of support throughout the product development cycle.
Your design can range from any single a là carte technical solution to complete product development through manufacturing.
And at project completion, you own the design.
The Optikos Management System is registered by Intertek as conforming to the requirements of:

Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Optikos engineers team up according to the demands of the job—bringing together specialties not only in optics, but also in physics, mechanics, opto-mechanics, electronics, software, and automation.
These diverse teams and skill sets enable Optikos to offer a range of engineering skills and experience for optically-based product development that is not typically encountered or developed in most in-house engineering departments or independent consultancies.
Our engineering teams thrive in a culture of efficient problem solving, and are experienced at joining a project at any phase of the development cycle—from conceptual work to fixing existing products that don’t work. We understand the sometimes-unpredictable nature of moving products to market and we’re well-prepared to deal with it.

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). […]

Compensation Methods for Glass Tolerances
Precision optical imaging systems span a wide variety of markets and applications including semiconductor, life science, medical device, aerospace, defense, and other industries. Often these imaging systems necessitate demanding performance requirements including diffraction-limited wavefront image quality, pixel or sub-pixel image distortion, as well as broad-band chromatic aberration correction. In order for the optical system to […]

Opto-mechanical Design Challenges for High Performance Aerial Imaging
Optikos develops optical systems for a wide variety of applications and markets, from medical diagnostic and surgical, to augmented reality and gaming, to automotive, tactical and consumer products. The best aspects of engineering for our customers involve design of systems that perform “Anywhere Light Goes.” Aerial imaging is one of the more challenging of these […]
