CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIES

Here, directly about challenges and solutions from the ones that matter the most, our customers!

Commercial Drones

Drones and similar aerial applications present unique challenges during flight, necessitating specific considerations for optical solutions.

Geospatial Imaging

Geospatial imaging refers to the process of acquiring, analyzing, and interpreting data related to the Earth’s surface and its features.

Automotive InCabin – Optics matter in the future.

One thing seems to be agreed on across the industry: In-Cabin vision applications will expand rapidly.

Lens Requirements for AI Vision

Developing a machine vision or embedded AI systems and scaling them for deployment are already challenging tasks.

Embedded Vision Modules

If applied AI for embedded vision aims to replicate human understanding, then the optical stack plays a significant role.

Automotive Headlamp Optics

The automotive industry is moving toward adaptive, high-resolution µLED lighting that requires advanced lens design expertise.

SWIR Imaging Optics

Short-Wave Infrared or SWIR is an imaging technology that traditionally has been used in biological, defense, and some industrial-related applications.

HOW ARE LENS ELEMENTS MADE ?

Digital imaging lenses are often made of multiple lens elements to achieve the required specifications.  How are those lens elements made in mass production?

Basic Thread Considerations for Lens/Holder Pairing on Board-Mount Cameras

The seemingly humble thread is much more complex than it appears; at least as it applies to lenses. 

An Optics Platform for Automotive Vision

Taking a platform approach at the lens component level can deliver quality optics in support of faster innovation cycles.

Relative magnification and aspect ratio

The magnification of an imaging lens changes with the object distance. as well as with the field angle as (i.e, where in the field the object is placed).

Hydrophobic and Oleophobic Coatings

Applications in Imaging Optics Oleophobic refers to the physical property of a molecule that repels oil.

Sunex Part Number Tutorial

Sunex has many online tools designed to help you find a lens according to your specifications that is best suited to your application.

The Art of Making an HDR Lens

HDR (High Dynamic Range, also WDR) – Dynamic range quantifies the ability of a system to adequately image both high lights and dark shadows in a scene.

Finite Imaging; When Focusing to Infinity Doesn’t Cut it.

Many applications require that imaging lenses be optimized for a finite object, that is, for an object distance closer than “infinity.”

Cleaning Procedure for Optics

The general guideline for cleaning optics is “if it's not dirty, don't clean it”. But if you have to, this is for you.
