At OSE Optics, we specialize in delivering custom optical assembly solutions that meet the most demanding standards in a range of industries, including aerospace, defense, medical devices, imaging, and more. With decades of experience, our team is committed to precision engineering, making sure each optical system is crafted to exact specifications for optimal performance and reliability.
What is Optical Assembly Manufacturing?
Optical assembly manufacturing integrates precision components like lenses, mirrors, prisms, and filters into complete optical systems for a variety of applications. From infrared zoom systems to visible doublets, we assemble solutions for industries such as defense, telecommunications, medical, and aerospace.
Our optical engineers design systems like lasers, telescopes, and fiber optics. We use materials like glass, plastic, and crystals, applying coatings for improved performance. Joining techniques such as bonding and adhesives have precise alignment and durability. Custom optical assembly optimizes performance, reduces components, and provides cost-effective solutions for high-quality optical systems to specific needs.
OSE Optics’ Custom Optical Assembly Services
At OSE Optics, we provide end-to-end custom optical assembly services, leveraging years of expertise. Our design phase considers factors like package size, weight, alignment, stray light, and environmental effects. We select the right materials, coatings and achieve the necessary specifications and tolerances requested. Using advanced grinding and polishing techniques, we guarantee optimal surface quality and precision for reliable system performance.
We apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to optimize designs, reduce production time, and minimize costs. DFM optimizes component and assembly designs, focusing on standardization and simplicity to reduce production time and lower manufacturing costs. By streamlining the assembly production, we minimize complexity, making it efficient and accurate. This approach results in faster, more efficient production cycles and higher-quality outcomes, benefiting our customers with reliable, cost-effective solutions.
We utilize advanced tools like Zemax and LightTools, which offer sophisticated features for simulating and analyzing light’s behavior. By using these tools, we can optimize designs before creating physical prototypes, significantly reducing both cost and time in the design process. This enables us to efficiently deliver high-quality, cost-effective optical systems specific to our clients’ needs.
Our advanced facilities, including laser alignment systems and cleanroom capabilities, guarantee the highest precision in assembling optical components for various applications, from infrared systems to visible light imaging. We’re committed to delivering reliable, cost-effective solutions to each client’s needs.
Advanced Optical Testing
At OSE Optics, we understand the importance of making sure that each custom optical assembly performs at its best. This is why we have invested in advanced optical testing capabilities using cutting-edge equipment and methodologies. Our testing procedures include Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) analysis, interferometric testing, environmental testing, and metrology testing, making sure that every optical system meets or exceeds the highest quality standards, such as ISO 9001:2015.
Our testing process verifies the alignment, performance, and durability of each optical assembly. By using advanced optical testing techniques, we make sure that the assemblies are ready for deployment in critical applications, from medical equipment to aerospace systems. Each component is tested for its ability to deliver optimal performance, making sure that your optical systems will perform as expected under real-world conditions.
