Logan Optical Designs, LLC (LOD) specializes in optical design, analysis, procurement, and other scientific research areas for both the Department of Defense and the private sector. They offer services ranging from single element designs to complex multi-spectral imaging system designs.

LOD uses Zemax optical design code for geometrical ray analysis and physical optics propagation, AGI32 Photometric Toolbox software for designing and evaluating HID distributions, as well as Mathcad, Matlab, and various other software packages to assist in design and analysis.

Yes, LOD can develop optical systems that meet specific client specifications, either with a current product or a product under development. They work closely with clients on all project issues including opto-mechanical aspects, vendor selection, and procurement.

One example of a previous LOD project is the design of RGB mixing light pipes, which are used to translate light from a white LED through a protective enclosure to a space environment using total internal reflection.

LOD's light pipes can be manufactured out of polycarbonate or glass.

A notable feature of LOD's optical systems is their ability to achieve diffraction-limited performance, such as in their 110° f/3.8 optical system.

Yes, LOD provides timely responses and works closely with clients to ensure project deadlines are met, offering support on all project issues including opto-mechanical design, vendor selection, and procurement.
