Commercial Systems Integration

OPTICS 1 works with every customer as a partner from the initial concept phase through detailed design tradeoffs and optimization, to prototype manufacturing, and ultimately production, delivery and after sales support.

We take pride in developing solutions that meet or exceed customer expectations.

OPTICS 1 Commercial Systems Division (CSD), located in Westlake Village California, has fielded the premier optics design, systems integration and manufacturing services organization in the industry. Armed with expertise gained from implementing hundreds of the most advanced optical system designs, OPTICS 1 Engineering and Manufacturing Services can extend your capabilities by applying the broadest set of technology platforms and methodologies available. Through our collaborative engineering approach, seasoned OPTICS 1 designers become your business partners, offering your design team:

1. Proven optics methodologies tailored to your design environment
2. Broad optical system and optics design expertise
3. Enabling optics IP to accelerate design and product development

We provide expertise in optics technologies that help you address cutting edge commerical systems integration needs and optical system design in the 21st century. Many companies want to mitigate the risks involved in creating the most advanced designs, such as medical electro-optics, consumer electronics, metrology and high end industrial designs. OPTICS 1 can support the entire development and implementation of these projects through our proven optics design approach. Expert designers at OPTICS 1 have achieved a remarkable reputation for implementing everything from simple lenslets to high-end optics system designs. These designers work closely with you to optimize your designs, as well as delivering performance levels that won't compromise your design goals.

With a passion for invention, OPTICS 1 applies innovations in optics that work, finding a better way to meet our customers' goals. Working with our partners, our engineering team is developing and demonstrating optics and electro-optical technologies that enable new products and new markets, seemingly every day.

The following representative examples of products and commercial systems integration sucesses that our Commercial System Division has developed for our customers serve to demonstrate our capabilities:

SOLUS 1000™ . This standard product offering from OPTICS 1 is an optical metrology system designed to rapidly assess the performance of a broad range of lenses, from standard spherical glass lenses to complex molded glass aspheres. The system offers an accurate, automated solution to the challenges of measuring lenses that are integral to digital cameras, mobile phones and pick up lens in DVD/CD appliances. It is a highly reliable automated testing platform that is designed to significantly reduce production costs while being flexible enough to provide detailed test parameters in R&D mode.

CytoViva™ is an advanced optical microscopy system with a novel fluorescence imaging capability enabling 100nm resolution - optically. The annular optical adapter was developed for Aetos Technologies by OPTICS 1 and was a 2006 recipient of the prestigious R&D 100 award.

HOT Box. The Holographic Optical Trapping "HOT Box" developed for Arryx (a division of Haemonetics) by OPTICS 1 is at the heart of an innovative instrument capable of manipulating small objects at the cellular level. It uses focused light to form optical traps that function like microscopic "tractor beams" to grab small objects. These optical traps (also known as laser tweezers) can hold, move, rotate, join, separate, stretch, and otherwise manipulate hundreds of microscopic and nanoscopic objects, ranging from the size of a human cell down to less than 1/1000th the diameter of a human hair.

Fluorescent detector unit developed and built for NASA-Ames for a space application - micro gravity experiment. The single unit comprised an illumination leg and a separate detector leg. The bacterial sample is contained in a well plate that is illuminated by a high energy LED and the fluorescent signal detected using a high sensitivity detector. 12units make a complete 'pod' and the complete system is designed to perform after space launch i.e. high shock environment (1400g's!).

Macular Degeneration Treatment Instrument. This instrument was developed by OPTICS 1 to enable the treatment of macular degeneration in the eye. The system comprised of a targeting laser and a treatment laser that delivered a variable focused spot to the retina. The system is currently awaiting FDA approval.

CoLOSSIS (Confined Large Optical Scintillation Screen Imaging System ) was developed for Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. A very large system designed to provide 3D X-Ray imaging of objects of interest.
