Key Takeaways: The reverse optical engineering process includes understanding the lens’s use, disassembly, data recording, and deriving new designs. Reverse optical engineering involves analyzing and recreating existing optical components when original designs are unavailable. The goal is to produce high-quality lenses that meet customer needs through rigorous testing. What is Reverse Optical Engineering? Optical reverse […]
Read moreKey Takeaways Reverse Optical Engineering is pivotal for recreating or enhancing optical components, especially when original designs are unavailable or are in need of improvement. This case study showcases the necessary steps in reverse engineering, from customer collaboration and sample testing to optical path simulation and final lens assembly. Leveraging advanced tools and iterative optimization, […]
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 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. […]
Read moreFor storage and transmission of large image files it is desirable to reduce the file size. For consumer-grade images this is achieved by lossy image compression when image details not very noticeable to humans are discarded. However, for scientific images discarding any image details may not be acceptable. Still, all the images, except completely random […]
