#TechPaperThursday 🔬 Design of a Tube Lens with a Focus Tunable Lens for Optical Inspection Systems

Researchers designed a tube lens with an electronically controlled focus tunable lens for high-resolution optical inspection—eliminating mechanical lens movement.

Using Keysight's CODE V software, simulations demonstrated stable imaging at 5X and 10X magnification with diffraction-limited resolution and near-zero distortion.

👉What does an optical engineer do?

They help design the systems behind smartphone cameras, LiDAR, fiber optic communications, scientific instruments, and even space telescopes.

We asked optical engineers to explain what the job is really like, the skills they use, and the projects they work on.

☑️From optical simulation to visual evaluation.

This webinar excerpt demonstrates how #VisionSym and #LightTools work together for near-eye display design.

VisionSym supports most spatial and angular apodization of LightTools sources, while light groups provide a convenient way to study relative luminance. The workflow also benefits from improved tessellation accuracy through LightTools integration.

👉Try VisionSym, LightTools, or both products together to explore the workflow.

🤔Can your imaging system deliver the image your mission requires?

Metrics like MTF and SNR matter, but aerospace imaging performance ultimately depends on the interaction of optics, detectors, mechanics, stray light, environmental conditions, and image processing.

Our latest blog explores a digital workflow that connects these disciplines into a single engineering process, helping teams evaluate system performance before hardware is built.
