Optical Design

The IDG has developed optical systems for ground-based and space-based instruments, from design through final testing. Our expertise spans wavelengths from the far-ultraviolet through the infrared.

Capabilities:

  • Optical system design
  • Precision component design
  • Ray trace analysis [ZEMAX]
  • Specification of fabrication and alignment tolerances
  • Production of detailed fabrication drawings
  • Management of component and system procurement
  • Assembly, alignment, and testing (including interferometry)
  • Metal and diamond-turned optics
  • Cryogenic and vacuum optical systems
