Engineering Services That Deliver

ORA's Engineer Services team provides imaginative, cost-effective solutions across the entire spectrum of optical design. We have successfully completed over 4,500 projects for government, commerical, and consumer products, including breakthrough designs for compact disk player optics, holographic heads-up displays, and precision illumination systems.

In addition, we match your needs for fabrication and assembly tolerances to the capabilities of fabricators we know well. By providing you with a list of qualified fabricators, we put you in a position to negotiate a competitive price and the quality you require. We can work with your selected fabricator to ensure that your product performs as expected after delivery, or we can help you bring your concept to reality through our alliance with a variety of prototype and OEM production houses. In either case, we are committed to helping you fulfill your optical design and engineering needs.

Your project should fit into one of the following categories:

	Extreme ultraviolet (soft X-ray), long wavelength infrared, acoustic zoom lens, micro-optics for medical applications, meter aperture astronomical telescopes
	LED-based and conventional source (e.g., Xenon, halogen) illumination systems for runway lighting, warning and traffic control, machine vision and inspection, navigation, fiber-coupled sources, and remote source lighting.  In addition, this group is skilled in solar concentrator design and all aspects of solar energy development.
	Electro-optical systems design, thermo-optics, opto-mechanics, materials science

The Engineering Process

Whether you need a project solution from start to finish, or need help with a step in between, we can work with you at any level. The first step is to determine the type of project, where you are in your project design, and where in the process we can come alongside you.
