Explore the technical groups of the Fabrication, Design and Instrumentation Technical Division, which encompass numerous disciplines related to the design and performance of optical components, subsystems and systems.
The Fabrication, Design and Instrumentation Technical Division incorporates numerous disciplines in the design of optical components and systems as well as the development of instrumentation to characterize the performance of optical components, subsystems and systems. Explore the technical groups within this division, each of which offers their members access to innovative events, focused networking opportunities and engaging webinars.
This technical group covers modeling and fabrication of optical fibers for applications including telecommunication, optical networking, sensing and others.
Learn MoreThis group explores design, characterization, fabrication and calibration of X-ray, gamma and EUV optics (including multilayer optics) for applications in the fields of photolithography, synchrotron radiation, free-electron lasers, astronomy and others.
Learn MoreThis group encompasses the design and characterization of traditional optical systems utilizing lens design, geometric ray-tracing and physical optics modeling. The evolution and development of design codes and software to assist in designing components and systems are included.
Learn MoreThis technical group discusses the technologies used in manufacturing applications that employ both CW and pulsed lasers for cutting, drilling, welding, ablation, polishing and cleaning processes.
Learn MoreThis group focuses on applied lighting research related to the use of solid-state lighting devices for humans, animals, plants, and the environment.
Learn MoreThis group encompasses the design and characterization of illumination systems using modeling techniques. Nonsequential design techniques, including both software and tailoring methods provide the tools to design efficient optical components that provide the desired distribution at the target.
Learn MoreThis group covers all aspects of optics fabrication and testing ranging from micro‐optics to large meter class optics; and from high‐value one‐of‐a‐kind optics to mass‐produced optics. It is also dedicated to the design, development and use of metrology systems for the characterization of optics.
Learn MoreThis group covers all aspects of polarization, including theory, engineering and measurement and testing. Additionally, applications of polarization, methods of modeling and propagation will be included.
Learn MoreThis group takes a systems approach to integrate several disciplines into an instrument, with the goal of achieving a desired function and performance. Examples include spacecrafts, telescope systems and commercial optics.
Learn MoreThis group is concerned with the theoretical and experimental aspects of the design, preparation and characterization of optical thin film materials and interference coatings.
