Single-element to multi-element assemblies, optimized in Zemax. We handle tolerance analysis, stray light, and DFM so your lens works in production.

Opto-Electronic Systems

Opto-Electronic Systems

Seamless integration of optical components with electronic systems. From sensor modules to complete imaging platforms with embedded software.

Optical Modeling

Optical Modeling & Simulation

Sequential and non-sequential ray tracing in Zemax, custom DLL development, and advanced modeling for complex optical systems.

Prototyping to Production

Prototyping to Production

We design, prototype, and produce lenses with turnkey quality control. From your first prototype to volume manufacturing support.

Illumination Design

Illumination & LED Optic Design

Innovative illumination solutions for residential, commercial, and outdoor applications with high-quality optical design.

Opto-Mechanical Systems

Complete Opto-Mechanical Systems

Detailed drawings for lens elements, assembly layouts, mechanical parts, and full assembly descriptions.

Applied Optics Research

Detailed Design
Full optical, mechanical, and electronic design with manufacturing documentation.
04
Prototype Build
We manufacture and assemble your first prototype in our facility.
05
Test & Validate
ISO-standard lens testing, system debugging, and performance verification.
06
Production Support
Quality control processes and volume delivery. We stay involved through ramp-up.

Customer Feedback

University of Alabama BirminghamOpto-electronic research instrument
"I have a background in optics, but lens design has always been a mystery to me. Your explanations helped me to decipher it. It is a blessing for me to work with you and OFH."
Agrismart EngineeringLED & sensor integration project
"We really enjoy working with you guys and your professionalism is admirable. We shall also revert back once we have the commercialization process sorted."
MTI InstrumentsElectro-optical measurement system
"Your team is moving so fast, I feel like a turtle. Every time we ask something, our question is promptly answered and your team often brings up aspects that we haven't considered."
