Design and product development capabilities at Qioptiq provide a “one stop” optomechanical solution. Sophisticated optomechanical products increasingly demand a holistic design approach. The core disciplines of Optical, Mechanical and Electronic design operate as a cohesive team, co-located to allow optimum communication. Close links with operations ensure the latest manufacturing techniques are considered from the project concept stage.This powerful mix of 100s of man years experience in our field, access to the latest design tools, and an environment which promotes innovation combine to allow Qioptiq to provide successful product, to specification and to cost.

Test and Development

Test and Development Engineering work closely with design throughout the design process. Optical testing facilities are comprehensive, enabling testing at most operational wavelengths. Thermal chambers and vibration rigs support environmental testing. Development Engineering are tasked with risk reduction and establishing alignment procedures for adoption at manufacturing stages. On-site prototype facilities exist for mechanical and optical component manufacture and assembly.
