Opto-mechanical engineering is the study and application of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation (photons) and mechanical systems via radiation pressure. It’s more than just providing mounts or holders for optical components. Inaccurate or improper mounting can introduce stresses or distortions in component surfaces, degrading the performance of optical systems under operating conditions. This is especially important in IR wavelength illumination systems, where the stresses caused by heat can affect opto-mechanical parts significantly.
Thorough assessments to determine project viability, design feasibility, and performance optimization.
Tailored designs for efficient, high-performance illumination systems across various applications.
Innovative and creative solutions to meet your specific optical and mechanical requirements.
We manage the full implementation of your optical systems, ensuring smooth deployment and integration.
Flexible engineering support to enhance your team’s capacity and speed up project delivery.
In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, reducing product life-cycles and offering rapid prototyping is crucial for devices and instruments relying on imaging and illumination optics. Shape Optics excels at fast, efficient prototyping, enabling you to bring products to market quickly and successfully.
Our Diamond Turning technique uses ultra-sharp diamonds to create precision metal or plastic optics, offering high-quality mirror finishes and profiles that precisely adhere to design requirements. This method is ideal for creating illumination optics with exceptional accuracy.
We utilize high-precision electric injection molding machines calibrated to nano-to-sub-micron scales for creating optical components as small as 0.01g and as large as 50g. This process is key in the production of imaging and illumination optics systems.
Shape Optics Technologies has developed a unique optical replication process that produces clear, durable optical components. These parts can withstand extreme conditions, such as multi-pass solder reflow conditions (up to 265°C for 30 seconds), ensuring reliability and long-term performance.
