Key Takeaways Reverse Optical Engineering is pivotal for recreating or enhancing optical components, especially when original designs are unavailable or are in need of improvement. This case study showcases the necessary steps in reverse engineering, from customer collaboration and sample testing to optical path simulation and final lens assembly. Leveraging advanced tools and iterative optimization, […]
Reverse Optical Engineering Process What is Reverse Optical Engineering? Optical reverse engineering involves understanding the functionality of existing optical components or systems through thorough analysis. This process enables the recreation or enhancement of these components. It’s useful when you don’t have the original design or want to make a better version of something that […]
Laser Optics: Skin Rejuvenation and Tattoo Removal Sun exposure may do a number on skin, but that doesn’t mean all light is detrimental. In fact, laser optics for skin care are the secret behind many highly effective cosmetic procedures that lead to more youthful, clearer skin. Hair removal, removal of age spots or tattoos, elimination […]

Design of an Off-Axis Parabola Mirror The off-axis parabola mirror (OAP Mirror) is widely used in advanced optical systems that meet increasingly stringent performance requirements. The design and specifications of OAP Mirrors are key elements that significantly affect manufacturing costs and the overall performance of these systems. To standardize the design and specification process of […]
Infinite Conjugate Long Working Distance Microscope Objectives offer high magnification and more flexibility than finite conjugate systems.
Key Takeaways: Reflective microscope objectives are revolutionary in optical design, addressing challenges such as chromatic aberration and enabling diffraction-limited performance across a wide wavelength range. Their mirror-based construction reduces chromatic aberration and extends working distances, while maintaining stability and precision through uniform thermal coefficients. The two-mirror Schwarzschild objective exemplifies meticulous alignment for optimal performance. These […]
Freeform Optics: Advances and Developments While most traditional optics have constant curvatures and are rotationally symmetric, freeform optics break all the norms. And there’s a very good reason they do. Design flexibility and many degrees of freedom mean a freeform optic can achieve optical mapping relationships that aren’t possible with your ordinary symmetric optic. When […]
Design of an Off-Axis Parabola Mirror Off-axis parabolic mirrors, commonly referred to as OAP mirrors, are engineered to manipulate parallel light beams. Unlike standard flat mirrors, they leverage a parabolic section to achieve specific optical functions. Collimation: When a divergent light beam meets the OAP mirror parallel to its optical axis, the parabolic surface collimates […]
SWIR Camera Surveillance: Eliminating Haze There’s a deep fog over everything, and you can’t see your hand when you hold it in front of you. The perfect night for a thief to sneak into your factories, make out with whatever they can carry, and get out the same way they came— or is it? Not […]
