Calculation of optical systems
The Calculation of optical systems is the key from the first concept to the detailed design of an optic. We support you with technical expertise in the development of optical systems for laser applications and imaging systems in the field of material inspection. We support you in the following topics:
Our services
- Definition of requirements: Together we will clarify what your system should do and which specifications are important.
- idea generation and concept development: We develop different solutions and discuss them with you to find the best option.
- Optical design and optimization: We design the optical design and optimize it for maximum performance and efficiency.
- Modeling and simulation with Zemax OpticStudio: We use state-of-the-art software to simulate your system to minimize errors.
- Analysis of imaging performance and system performance: We check how well your system displays images and how it performs overall.
- Analysis and allocation of tolerances for optics and mechanics: We determine which deviations are tolerable in order to ensure quality.
- Creation of production drawings according to ISO 10110 and parts lists: We provide all necessary documents for manufacturing according to international standards.
- Documentation and design reports: We record all steps so that you can understand the development process.
Individual implementation
Implementation is always individual and based on your needs. Projects usually start with a concept development phase in which we present and discuss different approaches to solutions while the requirements are simultaneously specified. In this phase, we advise you on the selection and suitability of concepts by comparing the expected properties, development effort, manufacturing costs, delivery times and tolerances.
We then detail a selected concept and optimize it in terms of optical performance and fulfillment of requirements. Commercial calculation software such as Zemax OpticStudio which is expanded to include its own evaluations and analyses depending on the task. The result of this development phase is a complete optical design that is tested for manufacturability and tolerances. For more complex systems, we also develop an adjustment and testing strategy.

Completion of the optical design includes the preparation of technical drawings for optical components and the overall system. This forms the basis for further integration or for the construction of mechanical enclosures.
