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.

IR Lens Temperature Testing
Take the guesswork out of your design process, and let the IQ Lab at Optikos Corporation measure your Infrared (IR) lenses over temperature. Athermalizing a lens is a lengthy, iterative, and challenging process in lens design, requiring precise modeling and careful consideration of all possible environmental factors. This is especially true for IR lens design, […]

Our technicians are providing fast-turnaround, affordable testing service on C-mount lenses for one week only at a reduced rate. Are you having disputes with your manufacturer about the performance of your lens? Do you need to validate your lens performance with an experienced, […]
Join Optikos at AutoSens USA 2025
AutoSens USA is returning to Detroit June 10–12, bringing together leaders in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies. This premier event fosters collaboration among a world-class technical audience of OEMs, suppliers, and engineers to shape the future of vehicle perception. Drop by Booth 328 to meet our suite of Meridian® camera testing […]
Lens Element Pricing Benefits from Economies of Scale
Optikos buys a lot of lens elements and builds a lot of lenses. We use them in the engineering design and manufacturing work we do for clients—from prototype builds to long-run production volumes in the 10’s of thousands. We’re a little different from other manufacturers—we don’t specialize in just infrared optics, or low-cost optics, or […]
Optical design optimization for glass equivalency to reduce supply chain burden
Lens manufacturing is dependent on the supply of optical-grade glasses, and with supply chain issues, glass selection can often make or break project timelines and cost. Experienced lens designers know the importance of glass selection and often need to consider glass availability early in the design process. Restricting the design space to specific glass manufacturers […]
A Review of Optical, Non-Contact Fluid Measurements for Life Science Applications
Optikos has engaged in multiple projects related to non-contact measurement of liquids. Typically, these measurements serve as a quality control (QC) step for an automated fluid handling process. Example projects include: Characterize turbidity (cloudiness) of bacterial samples to evaluate growth rates and populations prior to antibiotic testing Perform a critical, non-contact QC inspection of MRI […]
