Optical Design & Product Development

Moondog Optics is an independent team of optical and opto-mechanical designers with a passion for finding clever, practical solutions to tough problems. Focus areas of Moondog include mobile cameras, 3D sensing, VR/AR display, projection, and life science. The power of printed optics is utilized where possible to speed-up product and system development and to validate preliminary optics and tooling designs.

Experts in plastic optics

Injection-molded polymer optics have come a long way in the past decade. Incorporation of aspheric surfaces in plastics significantly increases the available degrees of freedom – enabling better performance, fewer elements, and unique form factors. Moondog Optics is a collective of leading independent experts in aspheric plastic optical design.

100+ years combined experience

The team comes from some of the world’s leading optical companies, including Eastman Kodak, Corning, Leica, Jenoptik, Melles Griot, and Digital Optics. They display a broad background in optical system design for capture, display, and sensing applications. They’ve worked on everything from single-use cameras to 3D laser cinema projectors.
