Providing precision optics and opto–mechanical components

Optical Engineering Services

SUPERIOR® Optics is our way of making more than 20 years of experience in optical engineering, opto mechanical engineering, product development and design accessible to you and your team. We provides precision optics and opto-mechanical components to an international customer base. We take our customers from prototypes to production. Our dedicated team works closely with our customers to meet the specifications needed to fulfill their project goals.

SUPERIOR® Optics are known in the photonics industry as a premier source of high precision optical systems and top quality optical components, but we do more than simply manufacture optics. We offer a variety of services to support our manufacturing capabilities – including Tool Design, Design For Manufacturing, Optical and Opto-Mechanical Design, Moldflow Analysis, Reverse Engineer, Prototype and Troubleshoot all of your optical systems and applications.

SUPERIOR® Optics also offer offer full system integration and are able to produce fully assembled opto-mechanical systems on request. Below you will find more information about each of these areas and how we can make your product a realization.

High-level Manufacturing Knowledge

SUPERIOR® Optics offers a sounding board for customers who don’t have in-house optical engineering expertise. Those with manufacturing experience will also appreciate the high-level manufacturing mentorship and the optical engineering support provided by our engineers.

DFM

Our team is uniquely qualified at SUPERIOR® Optics. We can help you design, develop and manufacture any precision optical components and opto-mechanical products. Custom optical molding is a complex process that requires immediate involvement from you. There are many factors involved in the project’s success. Our engineers work with you to ensure that the design is optimized for injection molding. They discuss the material, shape, tolerences, and other factors during the design phase. We offers mold design and optical engineering services for conventional plastic optics molds. We use 3D modelling software, CNC lathes and milling and grinding machinery, as well as high precision wire and sink EDM.

Optical Design

SUPERIOR® Optics provides a wide range of design services to our customers for their special projects. We have 30 years of experience in optical design, and we also offer optomechanical design. Our engineers have extensive experience in mechanical and optical analysis. Please contact our engineers to discuss in detail your project to take it from prototype to production. Please visit our Contact Us page to get more information on our custom optical engineering design. You can also send us an email or give us a phone call.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are some optical considerations for camera module design?

f-number, object distance, fixed focus/autofocus, field of view (FOV), operating wavelength band, frequency range, MTF, scene dynamic range, distortion, chief ray angle (CRA), stray light requirements, and centration tolerances.

2. What are the advantages of vertical integration (VI) and design for manufacturability (DFM) in camera module manufacturing?

In camera module manufacturing, VI and DFM offer advantages such as intricate manufacturing (for complexly interrelating parts), rapid prototyping, scalability, and, most importantly, a path to continually reduced size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).

3. What are the components of the optical assembly in camera module manufacturing?

Axial alignment, precise optical pathway placement, centration, electro-optics integration, optical bonding, and sonic welding techniques
