Brief explanation
The calculation of optical systems enables the targeted design and optimization of optical components and assemblies before production. Using professional simulation software like Zemax OpticStudio, we analyze beam paths, imaging errors, and system characteristics and develop customized solutions for demanding optical applications.
Our services
- Definition of the requirements: Together, we define the optical, mechanical, and functional requirements of your system and establish the relevant specifications.
- Concept development: We develop various optical solution approaches and evaluate them in terms of performance, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness.
- Optics design and optimization: We develop and optimize optical systems with consideration for image quality, light guidance, installation space, and other project-specific requirements.
- Modelling and simulation with Zemax OpticStudio: Using professional raytracing and simulation methods, we examine the optical behavior and optimize the system parameters.
- Analysis of system performance: We evaluate relevant parameters such as image distortion, spot diagrams, MTF, beam paths or energy distributions – depending on the respective application.
- Tolerance analysis: We investigate the influence of manufacturing and assembly deviations on the optical performance and define technically meaningful tolerances.
- Production drawings according to ISO 10110: We create production-ready drawings of optical components, including relevant specifications and bill of materials.
- Technical documentation: We document the optical design, the simulation results, and the key development decisions as a basis for manufacturing, assembly, and quality assurance.
Individual implementation
Each optical system places individual requirements on image quality, beam guidance, installation space, manufacturing, and integration. Therefore, our development work begins with a careful analysis of the technical objectives and constraints.
On this basis, we develop suitable optical concepts and compare different solution approaches in terms of their performance, complexity, and feasibility.
In the subsequent design phase, the selected concepts are detailed modeled and optimized using Zemax OpticStudio. In addition to optical performance, we also take into account manufacturing tolerances, mechanical interfaces, and economic aspects.
The result is a well-thought-out, production-ready optical design that serves as the basis for further construction, production, and integration. In the case of more complex systems, we also assist in developing suitable adjustment and testing concepts.
