Optical / Illumination

We know and live the color spectrum and design then deploy creative and innovative optics for all kinds of visible and non-visible light applications.  We love to bend and shape light and often push the envelope where possible.

 

We thrive within the light spectrum paradigm of interdependent links between the aspects of your light source (LED/other and electronics), the optics, and the resulting required thermal demands all inside a well design mechanical environment serving integration to the other components where possible.

 

Our solid background includes designing optical components and systems for projects and applications requiring both non sequential and sequential optical design. 

Non Sequential

  • Beam Analysis

  • Photometry

Proprietary Methods

  • Color Analysis

        CIE 1931xyY

        CIE 1976LUV

Raytrace Analysis

Sequential

  • Geometry optimization

Mechanical Integration

  • Manufacturing

  • Assembly

  • Mounting

  • Location Indexing

Voxel Analysis

3D Ray Propagation

40% Brightness Increase    3891 cd vs. 2760 cd

Simultaneously Eliminates Glare Beyond 15°

We create a design from simulation baseline using a combination of industry standard CAD software tools and self-grown proprietary methods, providing our clients unique capabilities and know-how into their projects. 

​

Designing, testing, producing and providing supplier sourcing for the finest optical components and systems in plastic, silicone and glass is what we do.  World class optics with better on-axis intensity, higher efficacy performance and consistent benchmark production are a golden.

​

Photon Ink been designing and been building solutions for 10 years with solid applications experience in visible and non-visible light markets.  Our practical and team experience encompasses more than 30 years of light engineering know-how related to:

 

  • Collimators/TIRs and Reflectors

  • Light bowls, windows, diffusers

  • Fresnel lenses, Convex/Duplex, Freeform, Condenser optics

  • Cluster or arrays lenses, and very sophisticated LED light guide applications.

  • IR/Thermal Imaging

  • UV spectrum LED deployment

  • Solar Energy Applications

 

When developing a new product involving optics, and you need optical or systems design and engineering, troubleshooting, prototyping and design for manufacturability; Photon Ink’s engineering services can serve from design to prototype and through full production rollout.  We believe in design for manufacturing and engineering for lifecycle!

 

Our optical engineers’ work every day with the best technology tools, manufacturing resources, metrology/photometry and analysis labs to ensure your completed optical component or system performs as specified and designed.  All the time!
