ISO 10110 & Material Cheat Sheet
The ISO 10110 & material cheat sheet assists optical designers in specifying their optical prints according to the ISO 10110 optics drawing standards. This cheat sheet comprises two sections, namely ISO 10110 indications and optical materials.
Optical Manufacturing Tolerance Chart
The optical manufacturing tolerance chart outlines the general tolerance limits for spherical and aspherical lenses that we can accommodate. It also acts as a valuable reference tool when designing a variety of optical components.
NanoSculpt – Custom Optics for Next-Gen Products
Himax IGI designs and manufactures innovative micro and nano patterns for displays, optics, biomedical, and many other applications. Himax IGI provides photoresist masters, nickel shims, and soft molds with diverse pattern characteristics that...
Accuracy in Optical Design
Answering some common questions new users of optical design and analysis software have are “How accurate are the results?” or “Can I trust the results I get?” and discussing the importance of accuracy in optical design.
Shanghai Optics Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Case Study
Shanghai Optics offers first-class Design for Manufacturing (DFM) services. We are proud of our track history helping customers improve product quality and reduce their manufacturing cost significantly. Below is one example of the optical lens we...
Product Development Strategies for Electro-Optical Systems
This whitepaper looks at the unique challenges associated with optical systems by exploring two extremes, an ultra-high precision instrument, and a low-cost consumer product, and the different approaches necessary for a successful product design and...
Improving the Efficiency of Monte Carlo Raytracing using Importance Sampling
Monte Carlo raytracing algorithms have long been used in optical design and analysis software. A limitation of the Monte Carlo method is that low probability events or ray paths may be undersampled. In this paper we will look at using Importance...
The Importance of Accurately Modeling Light Scattering in Luminaire Design
The reflected and transmitted scattering of light in a luminaire can play a major role in the performance of the luminaire. Many times, this is the reason the actual luminaire performance does not match the results predicted in optical modeling,...
Custom Lens Design and Lens Assemblies
Hyperion Optics specializes in custom optical system design, prototyping, and OEM lens assemblies. This one-page document contains details about our custom lens design and prototyping workflow, examples of lens design in our portfolio, and the...
Tolerancing and its Role in Illumination and Nonsequential Optical Design
Tolerancing is a subject that is often overlooked, or not fully addressed, in the design of illumination and nonsequential optical systems. Tolerancing methods are well developed and understood in the lens design and imaging system design fields,...
Application in Optical Design: Optimization for Receiver Enclosed Energy in LiDAR Systems
Enclosed energy optimization can be an important way to achieve high-performance optical systems that have stringent irradiance requirements, such as spectrometers and solar concentrators. This white paper shows an example LiDAR receiver system with...
7 Steps to Choosing the Correct Optical Mirror or Window
In addition to a good understanding of your application, carefully defining your requirements can save manufacturing time, which translates to reduced costs. In this paper, learn the important factors to consider when designing the ideal optic for...
The Future of Optics: How Optical Product Design will Change the World
New technologies are creating new opportunities in the optomechanical engineering space. Prepare for what lies ahead in optical product design by reading what 13 experts have to say about how optical product design has changed and where it’s going....
Meet Your Augmented and Virtual Reality Challenges Head-On: Design Your Next System with 2D-Q Freeforms in CODE V
The most challenging optical designs today need precise non-spherical surface shapes. A new surface formulation specified by G.W. Forbes describes a “freeform” surface with orthogonal polynomial deformations. Synopsys has developed a new 2D-Q...
Six Best Practices for Optical Product Design Teams
In their groundbreaking study Six Myths of Product Development, Stefan Thomke and Donald Reinertsen exposed common fallacies of product development and presented best practices for overcoming them (Harvard Business Review, May 2012). This eGuide...
Optical Design Tolerancing: A Key to Product Cost Reduction
The ideal optical system design minimizes production costs and meets performance requirements using achievable component and assembly tolerances and well-chosen post-assembly adjustments. Optical design software can help make this ideal manufactured...
10 Steps to Choosing the Right Optical Coating
There are some critical steps you should consider when selecting an optical thin-film coating to maximize your optical systems’ performance. Small changes in requirements can often have a significant impact when evaluating performance and cost....
Are Off-the-Shelf Optics Always the Best Solution?
A white paper from Resolve Optics addresses the commonly asked question "Are off-the-shelf optics always the best solution?". Today there exists a huge number of off-the-shelf lenses for mass market applications where unit cost is the dominant...
Asphere Metrology: Options for Measuring Aspheric Lenses
This paper will outline the numerous metrology options for aspheres at Optimax, including how they work, any requirements, and what is specified with each method in an effort to help reasonably tolerance aspheres. Effects on the fabrication and cost...
