Optical Project Workflows
Your vision
The project can start with a fixed set optical requirements or we can start with conversation about your idea, goals, and vision.
In this phase we determine the requirements that will achieve your vision. Requirements engineering can span many optics related disciplines including mechanical, electrical, photonics. The the vision and requirements understood, a set of optical requirements is determined.
Design
This is the stage where the optical requirements are used to determine the best optical design for the optical system. In the design phase, the entire optical system constraints are considered and analysed including mechanical, environmental, and thermal constraints.
Prototyping
Before product lines are launched, optical systems are tested on an optical breadboard. This is an important stage to take an idealised design to a real life functioning optical system. In this phase the real life performance can be analysed and the inputs used for the final production version.
Many 'one off' optical systems may finish at this stage if they are meant for metrology systems or for 'in-house' processes.
Production
With the initial requirements satisfied by design and via optical breadboard prototyping, the optical system is ready for manufacture and production.
Optical Design
Leviathan optical engineering can deliver custom optical systems such as imaging cameras, positioning sensors, communication systems for a range of applications including space, production lines, and consumer products. LOE can find solutions using budget friendly off the shelf parts or design completely custom systems where the requirements are more challenging. Get in touch to talk about your optical system requirements!
Stray Light & Ghost Analysis
Stray light analysis is critical in most optical systems and leviathan optical engineering can ensure any optical system achieves peak optical and mechanical performance using advanced stray light analysis techniques.
Opto-mechanical design
Leviathan Optical Engineering is fully licensed for Solidworks entire range of CAD design and simulation software. This means we can deliver far more than optical designs. We can design opto-mechanical test benches and custom opto-mechanical units.
STOP -Structural Thermal Optical Performance
Leviathan Optical Engineering can utilize Optic Studio's STAR module to analyse structural and thermal optical losses with data imported for CAD design and simulation software such as Solid works.
Why Leviathan Optical Engineering?
Leviathan Optical Engineering excels where an inter-disciplinary team is required to build and deploy a complex solution using optics. The best optical design is not the best theoretical solution but the one that considers the requirements and limitations of the whole system. Leviathan Optical Engineering will deliver not only excellent optical design but the best whole system solution.
Confidential & Secure
Leviathan Optical Engineering will sign non-disclosure agreements and protectyour intellectual property with utmost security.
Supplier Relationships
Leviathan Optical Engineering has excellent relationships with lens, mirror, and filter manufacturers around to world. We can find you the best performance with respect to your budget regardless of the required optical quality or quantity. Commercial, precision, and high precision projects are catered to as well as low and high volume orders.
