Space and sensing
Optical design and analysis for space imaging and optical sensing. Client names are withheld.
Published studies cover a toolkit that scores space lenses for image quality and point-source detection, and a feasibility study of LED light into a small fiber.
Typical problems
- Candidate space lenses need a repeatable score for imaging and for dim-object detection, with every assumption labeled.
- An LED coupled into a small fiber needs a bound on what any added optic can do before a custom part is tooled.
Published case studies
- Image quality and detection toolkit for space optics
Built an OpticStudio extension that scores a lens design for space imaging and point-source detection in one report.
30+ automated validation gates
- LED-to-fiber coupling feasibility study
Tested whether added optics could push more LED light into a small optical fiber, and found the lower-cost answer.
~5% to ~40% coupling efficiency by resizing the fiber instead of adding optics
