SUMMARY:Conference | SPIE Defense + Security | 26 - 30 April 2026 | National Harbor\, Maryland
DESCRIPTION:Meet Optikos at SPIE Defense and Security 2026 \nJoin us at Booth #521\, where we’ll be showcasing our advanced optical metrology and precision engineering capabilities\, supporting high performance applications across defense\, aerospace\, and complex imaging systems. \nWe’ll be featuring two key innovations central to our defense and imaging solutions: \n🔍 Alignment Turned Refractive Aerial Imaging | Engineering & Manufacturing Services \nSee how Optikos applies precision cell turning to achieve exceptional alignment accuracy in refractive lens systems\, while dramatically reducing manufacturing cost and complexity. This process corrects wedge\, decenter\, and airspace errors\, enabling high performance assemblies without the need for tightly toleranced components or labor-intensive builds. Combined with our advanced metrology capabilities\, including wavefront sensing\, interferometry\, CMM\, and MTF analysis\, this approach enables reliable\, cost-effective production for advanced optical systems. \n🎯 ColliMeter for Riflescopes | Precision Parallax Evaluation \nImproving upon ISO 14490 methodology\, our scanning pentaprism technique creates a precisely positioned line of sight that scans across the riflescope objective. Mounted in a horizontal configuration\, this system transforms riflescope evaluation from subjective guesswork into objective\, data driven measurement. It enables manufacturers to certify accuracy with confidence and offers buyers an unbiased way to compare products\, especially high magnification\, large objective telescopic sights. \n📅Join Optikos on April 28th\, 2026\, for the official launch of the ColliMeter for Riflescopes at SPIE Defense + Security. From 3–4 PM at Booth #521\, enjoy a champagne toast and a live demonstration of this breakthrough in riflescope testing. \n🎤Be sure to add these Conference Presentations by the Optikos Team to your schedule: \nEmerging techniques for dual-band optical metrology testing over temperature\nPresenter: Kevin Rovelli\nApril 29 • 10:50–11:10 AM EDT \nOptomechanical Techniques for Optical Compensation of High Performance Imaging Lenses\nPresenter: Kevin Rovelli (on behalf of Nathan Wallace)\nApril 29 • 2:30–2:50 PM EDT \nAutomated Production Flow of Lens Assemblies Enables Scalable\, Low Cost Production of High Precision Lens Assemblies\nPresenter: Lars Sandstroem\nApril 29 • 11:00–11:20 AM EDT \nIf you’re working on next generation imaging\, defense optics\, or complex optical assemblies\, let’s connect at #SPIEDS 2026. \nSchedule a meeting in advance by reaching out to Sales@Optikos.com \nRSVP to our LinkedIn Event to stay updated. \nLearn More about SPIE Defense + Security Exhibition \nWe look forward to seeing you in Maryland!

SUMMARY:Webinar | Optomechanical Techniques for Optical Compensation of High-Performance Imaging Lenses
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Optikos\nSpeaker: Nathan Wallace\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, May 19\, 2026 • 11:00 AM EDT\nRegister for This Webinar Now\n\nOverview\nHigh‑performance imaging systems are pushing the limits of optical design as industries demand higher resolution\, tighter tolerances\, and increasingly compact form factors. However\, even the most advanced optical designs encounter real‑world manufacturing variations that degrade system performance. This webinar explores how optomechanical compensators restore image quality by correcting as‑built errors without relying on labor‑intensive rework or costly reassembly. \nJoin Optikos Corporation and presenter Nathan Wallace for a deep dive into practical optomechanical compensation methods that help bridge the gap between theoretical optical performance and consistent\, scalable production results. \n \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\nThis technical session provides practical insight for engineers and system designers working with advanced optical systems. \nKey topics include: \n• The impact of manufacturing tolerances and alignment errors on imaging performance\n• How lateral lens positioning enables targeted aberration correction\n• Design principles for deterministic motion and precision adjustment mechanisms\n• Pros and cons of external adjustment schemes vs. internal compensator architectures\n• Methods for maintaining reliable feedback and long‑term alignment stability\n• Implementation strategies for integrating mechanical compensators within lens barrels and system assemblies \nAttendees will walk away with actionable methods to improve image quality\, reduce production variability\, and enhance alignment efficiency in high‑precision optical systems. \n\nWho Should Attend\nThis webinar is ideal for professionals involved in the design\, manufacturing\, and validation of optical and imaging systems\, including: \n• Optical\, optomechanical\, and mechanical engineers\n• Manufacturing and process engineers\n• Imaging systems and electro‑optical systems engineers\n• Quality\, test\, and validation engineers\n• R&D engineers and product development teams \nRelevant industries include machine vision\, industrial automation\, semiconductors\, aerospace and defense\, automotive sensing and ADAS\, consumer imaging\, medical imaging\, ophthalmics\, and scientific instrumentation. \nMid‑ to senior‑level engineers will gain the most immediate benefit\, though early‑career professionals and technical team leads will also find significant value in the strategies presented. \n\nKey Benefits for Attendees\nParticipants will learn how to: \n• Reduce reliance on manual rework and corrective processing\n• Improve production efficiency and reduce scrap rates\n• Achieve consistent alignment across manufacturing batches\n• Implement scalable\, repeatable compensator‑based correction methods\n• Enhance cross‑functional collaboration between optical\, mechanical\, and manufacturing teams \nThese insights support faster time‑to‑market and more robust\, high‑precision system performance. \n\nAbout the Presenter\n \nNathan Wallace leads the Engineering Services department at Optikos Corporation\, where he oversees the design and development of advanced optical systems across diverse applications. Prior to joining Optikos\, he contributed to structured‑light scanning technologies at Dimensional Photonics (later acquired by Danaher Corp.)\, including the successful launch of a dental scanner in 2013. \nSince 2014\, Wallace has served as an optomechanical engineer involved in aerial imaging lenses\, microscopy systems\, fluorescence imaging\, and custom optical metrology instrumentation. His systems‑level approach integrates mechanical engineering with optical performance optimization. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and a master’s degree in optical sciences from the University of Arizona. \n\nAbout the Sponsor\nOptikos develops and manufactures advanced metrology products for evaluating lenses\, camera systems\, and ophthalmic components. The company also provides IQ Lab testing services and offers expert product development\, design\, and volume manufacturing for optically‑based systems across industries.
