Featured Demo: Microscope Objectives
Custom High NA, Large FOV Microscope Objectives
See how Optikos designs, manufactures, and qualifies high performance microscope objectives for demanding imaging applications. Our custom objectives combine high numerical aperture, large fields of view, and full field wavefront metrology. These features verify optical performance across the complete imaging field.
Optikos also offers a growing library of pre engineered objective designs that can be tailored to specific application requirements. These proven designs can help accelerate time to hardware and reduce upfront engineering costs while maintaining demanding optical performance. For more specialized requirements, our engineering team can develop a fully custom solution.

Precision Optical Engineering for Semiconductor Manufacturing
Semiconductor manufacturing increasingly depends on optical systems capable of delivering precise, repeatable performance across demanding inspection, metrology, and lithography applications.
Optikos combines optical engineering, precision manufacturing, and metrology within a single development workflow. Our engineers work with semiconductor equipment manufacturers to develop custom optical solutions. These are designed around specific system requirements rather than relying solely on off the shelf components.
Our semiconductor capabilities include:
Wafer Overlay Metrology
Custom imaging modules engineered for demanding wafer overlay applications, with documented designs, rigorous qualification, and production manufacturing.
Lithography and Process Monitoring Optics
Precision optical solutions supporting demanding imaging and measurement requirements in semiconductor equipment.
Polarization Metrology and Interferometry
Custom metrology solutions for applications requiring precise polarization characterization, wavefront measurement, and optical performance verification.
Custom Optical and Opto-Mechanical Assemblies
From initial requirements through design, qualification, and production, Optikos provides an integrated path. This takes customers from concept to hardware.
See Our Semiconductor Case Studies
A semiconductor equipment manufacturer faced supply chain and performance risks from an off the shelf imaging module that had undergone multiple supplier revisions and was ultimately approaching end of life.
Optikos designed and manufactured a fully custom imaging module. They took ownership of the optical and mechanical design while qualifying the assembly against the customer’s requirements.
Key outcomes:
100% design ownership
The customer gained complete optical and mechanical IP. This provided greater control over future changes and tool generations.
Supply chain resilience
The custom, documented design eliminated the end of life risk associated with the previous off the shelf module.
Production ready performance
Qualified modules were manufactured in production quantities and delivered ready for integration into the customer’s next generation wafer overlay system.
Read the Wafer-Overlay Metrology Case Study
Optikos developed a custom polarimeter for a global semiconductor equipment manufacturer. This customer required extremely precise polarization measurement within a compact lithography metrology system.
Key outcomes:
50,000:1 extinction ratio
Achieved an extinction ratio of approximately 50,000:1. This met an exceptionally demanding performance requirement.
Precision angular calibration
Established the polarization axis to within thousandths of a degree relative to mechanical datums.
12+ year production partnership
A one time development project evolved into a sustained production relationship. The system continues across multiple generations of semiconductor equipment.

From Optical Design to Production
In addition to optical design, Optikos provides integrated capabilities. These allow semiconductor OEMs to move from requirements and engineering through metrology, manufacturing, qualification, and ultimately into production.
Design Ownership and Supply Chain Security
When a critical optical component is controlled by an external supplier, design changes and product discontinuation can create significant risks for long lifecycle equipment.
Optikos can provide documented, customer owned optical and mechanical designs that give OEMs greater control over future revisions, qualification, and production.
Metrology First
We use rigorous measurement and qualification throughout the development process. This helps verify that optical systems perform to specification.
Our metrology capabilities support objective qualification, wavefront measurement, polarization characterization, and precision verification, helping customers move from engineering development to production with greater confidence.
Engineering and Manufacturing in One Workflow
Optikos combines optical engineering with precision manufacturing and opto-mechanical integration. This integrated approach allows designs to be developed with production requirements in mind from the beginning.
The result is a path from concept to qualified hardware to production without unnecessary handoffs between disconnected suppliers.
