What is the most innovative usage of filters in AR/MR/VR fields? There have been many innovative uses of filters in AR/MR/VR fields. One of the most interesting applications is the use of holographic filters to create a more realistic and immersive virtual environment. Holographic filters are essentially optical elements that can manipulate light in complex […]
One important component of AR/VR devices is the display, which is responsible for presenting virtual images to the user. Optics play a crucial role in creating a high-quality display that is comfortable to use. In AR/VR devices, there are typically two types of displays: near-eye displays and projection displays. Near-eye displays are used in devices […]
Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR) are all immersive technologies that allow users to experience digital content in new and interactive ways. How are optics for AR/MR/VR used in our lives? Here’s a brief overview of each technology: Augmented Reality (AR) overlays digital content onto the real world, enhancing the user’s […]
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses light to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of biological tissues. OCT technology is based on the principle of low-coherence interferometry. A laser source emits a light wave which is divided into two light beams by a beamsplitter: one beam (i.e., the optical beam) is […]
Blurring is a significant source of image degradation in an imperfect imaging system. The optical system’s point spread function (PSF) describes the measure of blur in a given imaging system and is often used in image reconstruction or image recovery algorithms. Below in example of using inverse PSF to eliminate the barcode image degradation. Barcodes are […]
An optical drawing is a detailed plan that allows us to manufacture optical components according to a design and given specifications. When optical designers and engineers come up with a design, they condense it in an optical drawing that can be understood by manufacturers anywhere. ISO 10110 is the most popular standard for optical drawing. […]
An IR lens is an optical lens designed to collimate, focus, or collect infrared light. At Avantier Inc., we produce high performance IR Optics such as IR lenses for use with near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra. These Infrared lenses can be customized for specific areas of the […]
Identifying Resolution of Imaging Systems Resolution is a measurement of an imaging system’s ability to resolve the object which is be imaged. Test targets are typically tools that are used to check the resolution of an imaging system. The most popular targets consist of “groups” of 6 “elements” and each element consists of three horizontal […]
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Case Study: Objective Lens Design for Trapping and Imaging Single Atoms At Avantier we offer Design for Manufacturing (DFM services), optimizing product design with our extensive knowledge of manufacturing constraints, costs, and methods. Avantier Inc. received a request from a University Physics department to custom design a long working distance, high […]
Today’s advanced driver assistance systems take advantage of AI-spiked cameras and radar or sonar systems, but most manufacturers have been waiting for advances in machine vision technology to go one step further into autonomous self-driving cars. Today, that technology is ready to roll out. We call it LiDAR: Light detection and ranging. LIDAR in autonomous […]
