Infrared lens design and assemblies are crucial in the development of advanced imaging and sensing technologies. These technologies have found widespread use in a variety of applications, including night vision, thermal imaging, and long-range surveillance.
Objective lenses, essential in optical instruments, require aberration correction to optimize performance and influence field of view.
A beam splitter is applied in various fields, from teleprompters to robotics. Without it, a lot of technology you know would not function. So, how does a beam splitter work? What are its types and applications?
At Avantier, we use Zemax for designing, analyzing, and optimizing optical systems, such as lenses, objectives, cameras, and other optical devices.
Reverse optical engineering, also known as reverse engineering in optics, is the process of taking an existing optical component or system, analyzing it, and replicating it to create a similar or improved product.
The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a broad range of wavelengths, including Gamma rays, X rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, and radio waves, arranged in order from shorter to longer wavelengths.
In microscopes, objective lenses play a crucial role as the most complex and important component. These lenses, designed as multi-element lenses located closest to the specimen
Blurring is a significant source of image degradation in an imperfect imaging system. The optical system’s point spread function (PSF) describes the measure of blur in a given imaging system and is often used in image reconstruction or image recovery algorithms.
An optical drawing is a detailed plan that allows us to manufacture optical components according to a design and given specifications. When optical designers and engineers come up with a design, they condense it in an optical drawing that can be understood by manufacturers anywhere.
