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.

What’s Cooler Than Being Cool? Testing to -40°
At Optikos, we take our customer considerations stone cold serious – especially in our IQ Lab™ testing services. Every IQ Lab™ testing project starts with a discussion between the customer and our IQ Lab engineering team to ensure that we fully understand the details of their optical system to be tested and the reasons why […]
Why Doesn’t My Calculated EFL Match My Test Results?
A key part of validating optical hardware is reconciling differences between design simulations and hardware test results. Understanding the subtleties of how simulation and test results are produced, and why differences may exist, can avoid potential frustrations and delays in the hardware testing process. Many optical parameters such as effective focal length (EFL), distortion, and […]
Some Overlooked Thermal Considerations When Mounting Lenses For Aerial Imaging Applications
Aerial imaging applications present a unique challenge when considering thermal environmental changes. A system can experience extremely low temperatures while at altitude and extremely hot temperature while waiting and taxiing on hot tarmac. If the environmental changes are not fully considered early in the design phase, then the system is likely to suffer from performance […]
How Optikos Transformed an Early-Stage Genomics Technology into an Easy-to-Manufacture Solution
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 […]
Supporting the Superheroes through State-of-the-Art Optics at ADLM 2025
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. That is why our team is thrilled to contribute with our latest developments to this year’s ADLM 2025 conference—an inspiring gathering of global life science leaders […]
Tech trends to keep an eye on from Laser World of Photonics 2025
With record numbers of 1,398 exhibitors and 44,000 participants, the 2025 edition of Laser World of Photonics, held in Munich, Germany was a testament to the growing demand for high-grade optical solutions. From the automotive sector in need of advanced sensor systems to the space telecommunication industry’s pull for high resolution space imagery, more markets […]
