Case Study: LightPath Technologies improves manufacturable optical design with Ansys OpticStudio

LightPath Technologies - Customer Case Study

LightPath Technologies, a leader in optics and photonics solutions, faced the challenge of designing complex, cost-effective aspheric lenses that are difficult to machine. They turned to vendor EDRMedeso and used Ansys OpticStudio to simplify this process and design for manufacturability within tight constraints.

EDRMedeso's OpticStudio provided advanced optimization tools and the flexibility to write custom merit functions and macros. This enabled LightPath to optimize designs for both performance and manufacturability, ensuring higher yield, reducing time to market, and successfully integrating new materials like BD6 chalcogenide glass for their thermal imaging products.
