Complete Optical Systems Development and Delivery.

Quartus Engineering has a broad set of experience designing optical systems across industries and operational environments. Quartus is experienced in:

  • Lens Design
  • Laser Systems (VIS, EUV/DUV, NIR/MWIR, LWIR)
  • Imaging Systems (WFOV, NFOV)
  • Diffractive Elements
  • Imaging LIDAR and other 3D systems
  • Free-space Laser Communications
  • Astronomical Telescopes and Instruments
  • Display technologies
  • Large format holographic recording
  • Large optical components and assemblies

Quartus has leveraged these skills and an extensive history of mechanical engineering experience to provide complete optical systems in any part of the lifecycle from rapid turn prototypes to production level systems.

 

STRUCTURAL, THERMAL, AND OPTICAL (STOP) ANALYSIS

Quartus Engineering has long been a name associated with high caliber mechanical engineering analysis. These analytical capabilities lend themselves well to accurate prediction of optical performance through all operational environments. To further these capabilities, Quartus has developed a proprietary, integrated opto-mechanical analysis software tool that couples optical performance analysis with structure/dynamic and thermal response models of opto-mechanical assemblies. This allows Quartus to efficiently optimize optical performance metrics (e.g., wavefront error, distortion, encircled energy, image magnification and stability, entrance pupil magnification and wander) for deterministic environments. An internal optimization code determines mounting support number and layout to minimize RMS surface figure errors, slope-RMS, etc.

DETAILED OPTICAL ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES

Quartus has experience in wide array of optical modeling. These include:

  • Use of industry leading software, such as Zemax, CODE V, and FRED;
  • Matlab and other coding for modeling, such as complex optical simulations, algorithm development, atmospheric propagation, and interferometric modeling
  • Image processing and LIDAR point cloud generation
  • Holography design and recording
  • Illumination modeling and stray light analysis
