Optics & Electro-Optics

High-performance optical systems start with requirements-driven design: field of view, resolution, sensitivity, spectral band, and environmental constraints. We support optical layouts and component trade studies (lenses, mirrors, filters, coatings) and help ensure alignment tolerance, focus stability, and manufacturability across production and operational conditions.

For electro-optical subsystems, we integrate sensors and readout electronics with careful attention to noise, dynamic range, timing, and synchronization. This includes camera and detector selection, illumination design (LED/laser), trigger and timing architecture, and processing pipelines that improve detection and measurement reliability. Where needed, we support calibration and correction methods for distortion, non-uniformity, and temperature-dependent drift.

Many EO platforms operate in vibration and thermal gradients. We therefore account for structural and thermal influences on optical performance—supporting mechanical packaging, stability assessment, and environmental robustness. This reduces the risk of performance degradation due to misalignment, pointing errors, or optical aberrations under real-world loads.

We also support system-level integration with control, communications, and power architectures. This includes actuator-driven optics (focus/zoom), gimbals and stabilization, and safety mechanisms for high-energy sources. Verified interfaces and controlled performance budgets ensure predictable behavior throughout the mission profile.

Our development process emphasizes verification through structured testing: optical bench measurements, alignment checks, modulation transfer function (MTF) validation, radiometric/photometric calibration, and end-to-end performance evaluation. This provides traceable evidence that the EO system meets specifications and remains stable across operating conditions.
