Light,Engineered,across the full spectrum.
We steer light to solve problems, designing imaging and spectroscopic systems from the UV, across the full optical spectrum, to the SWIR. We advise from concept to build-ready documentation, with optional proof-of-concept delivery.
We specialise in imaging and spectroscopic systems across the UV, visible, NIR and SWIR, and in optical metrology instruments. We take a project from the first concept through optical design and tolerancing to documentation your manufacturer can build from.
What we frequently cover
Imaging systems
Lenses, objectives and camera optics from UV to SWIR, optimised for the detector and the scene.
Spectroscopic systems
Spectrographs from low resolution (R < 5,000) to high resolution (R > 100,000), and hyperspectral optics, with resolution and throughput budgets.
Optical metrology
Instruments that measure: interferometric, profilometric and radiometric setups designed around the accuracy you need.
Tolerancing and documentation
Sensitivity and Monte Carlo analysis, ISO 10110 drawings, and assembly and test procedures ready for production.
OUR PROVEN WORKFLOW
01
Concept
Requirements, first-order layout and a feasibility check before any detailed design.
02
Design
Optical design and optimisation, with performance checked against your specification.
03
Tolerancing
Sensitivity analysis, Monte Carlo runs and defined compensators, so the design survives manufacturing and thrives in its environment.
04
Build-ready documentation
Element drawings, bill of materials, and alignment and test procedures.

★★★★★
“I am delighted to provide a recommendation for Zsombor, whose services we have acquired for improving and optimizing our product development project. Mr. Antal is an expert in optical design, and we utilized his skillset to ensure our optical system is optimized for its purpose. Mr. Antal was a professional and efficient optical engineer who would quickly generate optical diagrams, plots, and simulations to support decision-making processes in terms of selection of optical components. With his service, we were able to improve the SNR of our system by approximately 10-fold. We would highly recommend his optical design and development services.”
