Mission-Specific Optical Systems

Progress in science is often constrained by the limits of the available tools. Off-the-shelf instruments provide standard answers, but true breakthroughs require a solution engineered for a specific, often singular, question. At SOLEYE, we operate as a dedicated R&D partner for the scientific community. We believe the most powerful instruments are born from a deep collaboration between the researcher with the vision and the engineers who can build the window to it. Our work begins not with a catalog, but with your mission requirements.

A Partnership in First Principles

We do not begin with a catalog; we begin with a conversation. The final instrument is the result of a deep, collaborative dialogue between your scientific objectives and our engineering expertise. Our process is designed to ensure the solution is not just technically sound, but perfectly aligned with your mission.

the
Dialogue

Let’s start with your research question.

We work to understand the fundamental challenge, the desired outcome, and the specific environmental and operational constraints.

prototyping & Validation

Moving from theory to reality.

We design, manufacture, and rigorously test prototypes and subsystems to validate performance against the mission’s core objectives.

Co-Design & Feasibility

Together, we architect a solution.

This phase involves deep collaboration, from optical train design and material science choices to feasibility studies and performance modeling.

manufacturing & Integration

We manufacture your instrument.

Upon validation, we proceed with the full manufacturing of the component, instrument or system, concluding with seamless integration into your existing infrastructure.

From a Single Component to a Complete System

Custom Optical Systems

Our core strength is the design and fabrication of custom optical systems. We specialize in developing proprietary dual-band coatings, adapters for mission-specific filters like MOFs, and solving complex challenges in aberration control and stray light suppression.

Component Design & Precision Manufacturing

Beyond complete systems, we are equipped to design and manufacture critical parts and subsystems. Our workshop moves fluidly from advanced CAD/CAM and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to the precision assembly and validation of individual components.
