Opera Optics

Specializes in advanced optical design of various optical systems such as MIR, NIR, IR zooms, VIS zoom, atheral designs for IR and VIS, laser systems, miniature optics, ultra narrow fields optics, testing equipment and much more.We specialize in:

IR optical system design:

Design, using cutting edge ray tracing software, of any Infra Red Optical system for

cooled or uncooled detectors.

We have years of experience designing IR imaging systems with various focal lengths

and F-numbers.

We use aspheric and diffractive surfaces in our design, in order to achieve diffraction limit performance for passive or active athermal systems. Whether a lens we design is manufactured by diamond turning or conventional methods, made of any IR material such as: Silicon, Germanium, ZnS, Znse, Cleartran, CaF2 Etc... We will define the most suitable coatings for your system even for the most

difficult environment.

NIR optical system design

Design of NIR systems with active or passive illumination.

VIS optical system design

Design of complex optical systems, using a variety of mirrors and lenses including ashperical and diffractive molded lens.

design for any type of sensor/s with any desired focal length and apertures.

For low budget prototype design we have the ability of designing a fully capable optical system which can be delivered in a very short time and low expense.

For mass production systems we can design a perfect system by using aspheric elements made by molding methods.

Any type of coating can be applied: band-pass filters for decreasing chromatic aberrations, monochromatic filters,laser coatings, etc..

Ashpheric and Diffractive elements design

The use of aspheric and diffractive surfaces is used to achieve better optics with less aberrations, using the minimal amount of elements, making our designs less cumbersome, easy to assemble, smaller, lighter and cheaper.

Design using catalog elements

For low budget prototype design we have the ability of designing a fully capable optical system which can be delivered in a very short time and low expense. We use reliable distributors such as Edmunds Optics, New Port, Thorlabs, Etc..

Laser systems design

Optical simulations of laser sources are an essential tool for achieving your goal. We Design Optics for any laser application, whether its an illumination system, a biomedical application or High Power laser application, we will comply with your needs.

Optical testing instrument design and enhancement

Experience with the design of measuring instruments, such as Twayman green Interferometers, Fiezo Interferometers, Hartmann-Shack Wavefront sensing, collimators etc...

We also specialize in developing user friendly software that use state of the art algorithms for analyzing results of optical

measurements.

Stray light and ghost analysis

Non sequential Ray Trace simulations are used to analyze and debug

optical/optomechanical systems.

Clever ,yet simple, solutions will be suggested and applied to eliminate any unwanted photonic energy to any critical points on any optical systems.

We have the tools and expertise of running a full scale stary light analysis, which includes a mechanical structure, optical elements, electronics which acts as heat sources, coating effects..

For Infrared systems a we offer a full simulation of heat radiated from all structural entities, heat sources such as motors, electronics, hot surfaces etc..
