At Avantier, we use Zemax for designing, analyzing, and optimizing optical systems, such as lenses, objectives, cameras, and other optical devices. For optical system design, Zemax helps to construct a virtual optical system by defining optical specifications, such as surface curvatures, thickness, refractive indices, etc. For ray tracing, Zemax simulates the propagation of light rays […]
Read moreIn order to ensure the seamless functioning of a high-performance optical system, it is essential to establish a foundation comprising suitable mechanical components that are well-maintained and accurately aligned. At Avantier, we have over 20 years of experience in opto-mechanical design. Our mechanical engineers play a key role in your projects by offering optimized and […]
Read moreReverse optical engineering, also known as reverse engineering in optics, is the process of taking an existing optical component or system, analyzing it, and replicating it to create a similar or improved product. This technique is useful when the original design is not available or when improvements need to be made to an existing product. […]

Read moreIn microscopes, objective lenses are the most complex and most important part of the microscope. The objective lenses, which are designed as multi-element lenses located closest from the specimen, the function is to receive light emitted by the specimen, and perform the crucial task of producing real image, then get it received by the eyepiece […]
Read moreKey Takeaways Optical filters like Longpass, Shortpass, Bandpass, Multi-bandpass, Notch, and Neutral Density are essential for controlling wavelength ranges in diverse applications. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises Gamma rays, X rays, UV, visible light, IR, and radio waves. Human eyes perceive colors in visible light (380-780nm), while optical filters play a vital role in manipulating light […]
Read moreKey Takeaways Field of View (FOV) in a camera lens, influenced by focal length and sensor size, captures the scene. Angular Field of View (AFOV), measured in degrees or length, is determined through optical tests. Shorter focal lengths intensify light convergence, affecting Angular FOV. Exploring the Field of View (FOV) in Camera Lenses The camera […]
Read moreKey Takeaways: Clear aperture is the specified high-quality portion of an optical component. It is measured in millimeters or as a percentage of the lens’s surface area, indicating manufacturing demands. Clear Aperture and Manufacturing Challenges in Optical Components When producing optical components, there is often a decrease in surface quality near the component’s edge. The […]
Read moreBlurring 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 […]
Read moreAn 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. […]
