The optical engineering consulting services provided by Shanghai Optics make over 55 years of experience in optical engineering, optomechanical engineering, product development and design accessible to you and your team.
Known in the photonics industry as a premier source of high-precision optical systems and top-quality optical components, we do more than simply manufacture optics. Our optical engineering services team, composed of optical and mechanical engineers, is available to work with our clients worldwide to design, test, reverse engineer, prototype, and troubleshoot all of your optical systems and applications. We also offer full system integration and can produce fully assembled optomechanical systems on request.
Customers without in-house optical engineers have learned to rely on our prompt engineering assistance and quick problem-solving. Those with optical systems engineering experience appreciate the expertise, sounding board, and high-level manufacturing knowledge that Shanghai Optics makes available.
Bringing a new design from the initial exploratory phase of proof of concept to completion requires multiple steps with thorough analysis at each stage–from the initial feasibility exploration (proof of concept) and research of technical requirements through cost analysis and mechanical design to rapid prototyping and, finally, the development of the optical product. Our team is available to join you at any stage in the process. Whether you are designing a medical/bio research device or planning volume OEM production of consumer products, you will find our engineering services to be an invaluable resource for your product/application development.
Our expert engineering team has many years of manufacturing experience and will help you optimize your optical system with in-depth DFM input (Design for Manufacturing). The process includes material selection and geometric dimensioning and tolerance analysis (GD&T).
We understand that the rigorous testing needed for precise optical functions is beyond the capability of all but the most specialized firms. Therefore, we provide both standard and custom metrology services to our clients. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to perform the most precise measurements and fine-tuning, and our experienced engineers can provide any measurement analytics that may be needed.
Shanghai Optics invests significantly in its manufacturing facility and metrology equipment in order to meet the quality demands of our customer’s applications. Some of the in-house inspection equipment that we use includes:
• Zygo Verifire Interferometer (measures surface accuracy of plano- or spherical surfaces)
• TriOptics MTF Station (full optical system characterization & performance specs)
• Shimadzu Spectrometer (measures transmission and reflection date; spectrum ranges from UV-250nm to Far IR-50um)
• TriOptics OptiCentric 100 Dual – for testing, alignment and assembly of complex and multi-lens objectives.
Our capabilities include not only design services and testing/measurement but also troubleshooting existing optical systems and providing continuous support for our products throughout their time of use. Our engineers boast a wide range of specialties and diverse skill sets, allowing them to problem-solve effectively across disciplines and think outside the box when challenges arise.
As a manufacturer of premium optical systems, we stand behind all our optical components and provide full support throughout the lifecycle of every piece of equipment produced in our factories.
Shanghai Optics’ engineering services include design prototyping, systems design, and optomechanical design. Our optical engineering services team has experience in both systems architecture and electrical systems. Our services extend to both software and firmware, and we can work with you to prepare product documentation and instructions for fixturing and use of equipment.
We are ISO 9001:2015 certified, and both our products and engineering services are both tightly quality controlled. We understand your intellectual property concerns and can provide confidential consulting when desired. Please contact one of our friendly representatives to discuss how we can help you achieve your goals in optical design and engineering.
