Contract Engineering Services:

Praxis Optics offers contract  engineering  and analysis services. We offer 28 years of combined experience designing, building and using systems for commercial, defense and biomedical applications. The services we can provide are:

Particular areas of expertise include:
 

Optical Design

• gradient-index optics (eight years designing with GRADIUM glass)
• fiber optics (single-mode, multi-mode and combinations, collimator design and coupling calculations)
• aspherics (machined/diamond-turned as well as molded glass) for prototypes and mass production
• laser beam delivery design (particular emphasis on CO₂ and YAG industrial lasers with several years of hands-on use)
• high performance passive athermalization
• general purpose optics, such as apochromatic pulse laser objectives
• wavefront sensing
• hyperspectral and multispectral imaging
   

Manufacturing

• tolerancing and manufacturability review
• supply chain development (from prototypes to mass production)
   

Atmospheric Simulation

• modeling of optical systems and components including the effects of atmospheric turbulence in the optical path
   

Scientific Programming and Data Analysis Services

• analysis of data using scientific programming tools
• C++ programming
• years of experience with practical experimental design and analysis
