Logan Optical Designs, LLC is a leader in the field of optical design and analysis, boasting nearly 30 years of experience. Specializing in both Department of Defense and private sector projects, Logan Optical Designs (LOD) excels in creating solutions ranging from simple single-element designs to complex multi-spectral imaging systems. The company utilizes advanced tools such as Zemax optical design software for geometrical ray analysis and physical optics propagation, as well as AGI32 Photometric Toolbox for HID distribution design and evaluation. Additionally, LOD employs Mathcad, Matlab, and other software packages to enhance their design and analysis capabilities.

LOD is committed to developing optical systems that meet specific client requirements, whether through existing products or those under development. The company prides itself on close collaboration with clients, addressing all project aspects including opto-mechanical considerations, vendor selection, and procurement. This collaborative approach ensures that LOD provides timely responses, enabling customers to meet their project deadlines efficiently.

Among the many successful projects undertaken by LOD are innovative designs such as RGB mixing light pipes and advanced optical systems. For instance, LOD has developed light pipes that effectively translate light from a white LED through protective enclosures into space environments, utilizing total internal reflection (TIR) for optimal light confinement. These light pipes can be manufactured from materials like polycarbonate or glass, depending on project needs.

Another notable example of LOD's expertise is their work with Fresnel lenses and diffraction-limited optical systems. One of their recent designs includes a 110° diffraction-limited f/3.8 optical system, showcasing their ability to integrate complex optical and mechanical designs seamlessly. This project also featured the implementation of a Stewart Systems wide-angle lens, complemented by LOD's Fresnel lens collimator array and focusing lens, demonstrating their capability to deliver cutting-edge optical solutions.
