Product Development
Our core competency in optical engineering allows us to provide optically-based design for any product or application
Where other optical consulting firms might offer only lens design services, Optikos has built its reputation on providing our clients with access to broadly skilled optical problem solvers who provide solutions and continuity of support throughout the product development cycle.
Your design can range from any single a là carte technical solution to complete product development through manufacturing.
And at project completion, you own the design.
The Optikos Management System is registered by Intertek as conforming to the requirements of:

Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Optikos engineers team up according to the demands of the job—bringing together specialties not only in optics, but also in physics, mechanics, opto-mechanics, electronics, software, and automation.
These diverse teams and skill sets enable Optikos to offer a range of engineering skills and experience for optically-based product development that is not typically encountered or developed in most in-house engineering departments or independent consultancies.
Our engineering teams thrive in a culture of efficient problem solving, and are experienced at joining a project at any phase of the development cycle—from conceptual work to fixing existing products that don’t work. We understand the sometimes-unpredictable nature of moving products to market and we’re well-prepared to deal with it.

Ask Optikos: What is a Projector?
What is a projector? The short answer is that a projector is an optical device that illuminates a surface patterned to a desired image and projects that onto a screen. But in this post, we’ll take a deeper dive into what a projector is, its history, and common design challenges in creating projectors. A Brief […]
How to Go to Market Successfully in the Medical Device Space: Pre-Development
The failure rate for medical device startups can be as high as 90%. The question is, why do so many fall short? Is it due to funding challenges, the complexity of the technology, over-commitment coupled with under-delivery, a lack of understanding of the competitive landscape, or perhaps a shortage of engineering experience and manufacturing capabilities? […]
Quality Statistics in Production: Using Data and Statistical Techniques to Improve Manufacturing Processes
For those of you that read In-Process Testing in a Production Environment blog, this is the second installment in the series. Anyone who works in manufacturing understands the criticality of measuring the performance of sub-assemblies and finished products on a production line — and that’s where in-process testing comes into play. In my last post, […]
Highlights from Photonics West 2025
We are proud to have joined 24,000 optics and photonics professionals from more than 75 countries at this year’s SPIE Photonics West 2025. It was an excellent show highlighting new research, industry trends, and many technical presentations. Our own Kevin Sweeney celebrated achievements in metrology in his featured lecture “The measurement of object distance for […]
Reducing Cost in a Manufacturing Environment
In my previous blogs, I focused on the quality of the manufacturing processes both in In-Process Testing In a Production Environment and in Quality Statistics in Production: Using Data and Statistical Techniques to Improve Manufacturing Processes. While quality is essential to a successful manufacturing program, it cannot be taken in a vacuum without also looking […]
The Optikos Team Prepares for Photonics West 2025
Photonics West promises to be an excellent week of networking, training, and innovating. SPIE describes it as the world’s premier event for lasers, biomedical optics and biophotonic technologies, quantum, and optoelectronics. We talked with the experts from Optikos who will be joining the event to chat about what they are most excited for. Lars Sandstroem […]
