Illumination, detection and visualization systems integrate optical components manufactured and treated from different (optics) materials. Indeed, these materials transmit, reflect, absorb, diffuse optical radiation in various ways and thus influence the performance of the systems that integrate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PIS\u00c9O\u2019s experts use these materials to design innovative and high-performance optical systems. They therefore have a very large database of the optical characteristics of marketed materials such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), glasses and anti-reflective coatings. The experts use these characteristics to perform simulations<\/a> with tools such as LightTools<\/a> or Zemax<\/a>. They predict the performance achievable by optical systems once integrated including yields, illuminance, luminance, distortion, modulation transfer function (MTF) and colorimetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PIS\u00c9O is therefore an innovation platform and center of expertise in optics-photonics. To support its experts in optical design and its customers, PIS\u00c9O offers characterization services for materials for optics such as those described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
