My principle activity is the analytical design of electro-optical products. Typical projects integrate optical, mechanical, and system design. My work is evenly divided between scientific instrumentation and industrial production applications. I welcome communication from clients and enthusiasts alike, whether for business or technical curiousity, old friends and new.
The wavefront sensor assembly is part of an "adaptive optics" instrument that corrects for atmospheric-induced aberrations.
This instrument slices the image of a subtended object into ten parts then stacks the slices, one over the other, at the entrance slit of a spectrograph.
40 Watt 830 nm laser, 240 channel, liquid cooled, auto focus. In production at Kodak for nearly a decade.
This design places two optics into two independent positions using a single stepper motor and indexing system.
Part of the engine assembly for a Dainappon Screen film recorder, this unit retains 3 micron repeatibility throughout its 40,000 hours life.
Operating at the prime focus of a 3.6m telescope, this camera uses four large format CCDs to enable wide field imaging.
Two spectrographs in a single one-ton assembly at the cass focus in Hawaii.
Heat transfer is one of several analytical problem areas in photonics. Applications included laser temperature stabilization, PCB cooling, and optical cavity environmental control.
A cytometer, radio structure, dome encoder, polarimeter, deformable mirror...
Please free free to write or call, whether you are a prospective client, a potential employer, or someone with technical interests, ideas, or questions. Product design and engineering problem solving are more than a profession to me. This my passion. The learning never stops.
