Real optical engineering programs, with real numbers.
Ten anonymized programs across space, defence, medical devices, machine vision and metrology — what was analyzed, what was achieved, and why it mattered. Every specification below is traceable to delivered project work.
Stray Light Analysis and Baffle Design for a High-Contrast Reflective Telescope
How MyntOptics quantified focal-plane stray light in a Ritchey-Chretien telescope and validated a baffle and black-coating strategy before any hardware was built.

A Compact 500 mm Ritchey-Chrétien Telescope, Designed with the Evidence to Build It
MyntOptics developed a compact 500 mm aperture, 5000 mm EFL Ritchey-Chretien imaging telescope with full MTF, tolerance and compensator evidence for a constrained payload envelope.

Two Off-Axis TMA Candidates, One Defensible Decision: A Payload Feasibility Study
MyntOptics compared two unobscured off-axis three-mirror anastigmat (TMA) designs - 150 mm f/4.5 and 200 mm f/3.4 - on image quality and package volume to de-risk an imaging payload decision.

A Dual-Band VIS–NIR Ocular That Keeps Fluorescence Visible to the Edge of the Field
MyntOptics engineered a custom dual-band ocular for a medical fluorescence imaging system - 60 degree apparent field, 35 mm eye relief and near-uniform relative illumination across visible and NIR channels.

Engineering a Portable Fundus Camera That Sees the Retina, Not Its Own Light Source
MyntOptics engineered the illumination and imaging optics for a compact retinal camera, suppressing corneal reflexes and validating the design through working prototypes that captured clean retinal images.

What Does a Protective Window Do to Your Vision System? We Measured It Before It Was Built.
MyntOptics quantified how a curved protective glass window affects a rotating machine-vision camera - distortion under 0.1%, micron-level boresight stability - and delivered design rules the client now uses as standard.

Near-Diffraction-Limited Imaging Without Custom Glass: An Adaptor Optics Story
MyntOptics designed custom adaptor optics around off-the-shelf lens components, achieving near-diffraction-limited polychromatic imaging while cutting cost and months of lead time versus full custom glass.

Root-Cause Audit of a UV Plasma-Imaging Relay: Finding the Physics Behind a Blurry Edge
MyntOptics performed a root-cause optical audit of a UV plasma-imaging relay, isolating the physics behind its distortion and field curvature and defining a corrected f/2, 25-micron-resolution redesign path.

Symbology on a Curved Visor: Architecting a Head-Mounted Display from Optics to Coatings
MyntOptics architected a head-mounted display that projects OLED symbology onto a curved polycarbonate visor, co-designing the projection optics, beam-splitter and AR coatings as one system.

Instruments That Measure Other Optics: Autocollimator and Alignment Telescope Engineering
MyntOptics engineered precision autocollimator and alignment telescope optics, simulating cross-hair imaging and mapping ghost reflections down to 14 orders of magnitude below signal to protect measurement accuracy.
