Unique Innovations

Better raytracing and optimization

Example Projects

Integrated optimization of META-surfaces (physical optics) with classical lenses (raytracing)
Valley Optics was granted a European EUROSTARS project on the development of an integrated Meta-surface-design approach onto the software platform. This project is executed in partnership with PlanOpSim (Belgium) and NILt(Denmark).
Integrated optimization of NURBS-surfaces for space instrument (mirror) optimization
Valley Optics has won an ESA tender in a partnership with ONERA (France) and Airbus (Germany). In the project a software design approach using NURBS has been developed. The project has been successfully completed, and the tool is available for all ESA-partners.
New development approach using existing lens-characteristics for new designs
In cooperation with a customer Valley Optics successfully developed a software process being able to evaluate and to optimize state-of-the art optical objectives for cinematography that are applied in the recording of cinematic movies/films worldwide.
Simulation of multi-fiber-bundle packages used for imaging
Valley Optics successfully modelled a flowchart process using fiber bundles for a defense application. Customers reply: “We are now even able to iterate the model in front of our customer, getting a better understanding and the desired solution much faster
