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.

Nearly 40 Years of MTF and Going Strong
Let’s take a trip down memory lane. In the mid-1990s when I was a young engineer at Optikos Corporation, I vividly remember CEO Stephen Fantone imploring my boss, Peter Carellas, to get back to work on a project Steve called, “that four-letter word!” The word in question was “book” and the book Peter was working […]

How Hard Can It Be to Select A Lens for A Camera System?
At first glance selecting a lens for a camera system may seem straightforward, but it can be a deceptively difficult task. We often find that customers have already chosen a sensor and they want to find the most appropriate lens for their application. They will have a field of view requirement and the field of […]

Why Measure Stray Light?
Stray light in imaging systems is known by many terms—veiling glare, ghost image, lens flare, and image glare, just to name a few. In its most general sense, “stray light” refers to any unwanted light that ends up in the image formed by a lens. For most of us, our exposure to stray light probably comes from […]
