Design and Modeling

We at RPC Photonics are constantly working on novel, state-of-the-art optical applications that require detailed modeling and analysis capabilities to accurately predict expected performance given the chosen fabrication methods. Over the years RPC Photonics has developed internal capabilities for the design, modeling, and tolerancing of optical systems and components to support its product development and to provide customers with robust design solutions and performance prediction prior to production.

Here is some of our expertise:

Optical design and modeling of complex structured surfaces such as diffusers and microlens arrays

Opto-mechanical system design
- In-house development of laser writing systems (currently at the 5th generation laserwriter)

Imaging and non-imaging optics
- Illumination systems
- Solid-state lighting
- Beam shaping

Diffractive Optics
- Diffractive lenses, phase plates, spot arrays, beam shaping

Grating diffraction
- Scalar and vector diffraction by arbitrary gratings

In addition to our internally-developed modeling tools we also make use of available commercial optical design software.
