Photonics technicians work in jobs where they assemble, measure, test, and repair optical components such as lenses, mirrors, filters, fiber optics and electro-optic or other photonics devices plus optical sources such as lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Technicians Specialists work in areas that utilize the skills and knowledge of the Operator Level, but also an additional higher level of optics, photonics physics and technology and that require a greater variety of hands-on competencies in laser and optical components and systems. They typically work in applications such as the following: research and development laboratory; product development, test, and production specialists who are team members for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of lasers, optics, and photonics components and systems; field service specialists for OEMs or companies that manufacture and/or utilize lasers, optics, and photonics components and systems. They are graduates of AAS degree programs that focus specifically on optics, lasers and photonics. The knowledge component comprises of four separate exams totaling 297 questions. These four exams must be taken within a two year period.
Precision Optics technicians work in optical component fabrication technical areas in optical shops, optics manufacturers and in quality control departments (incoming and/or outgoing inspection) for organizations that incorporate precision optics into various systems. They must be able to examine the properties and uses of a variety of bulk materials; have experience in the use of equipment and procedures for shaping, polishing, and coating precision optics; and be able to use optical instruments, procedures and guidelines for verifying optical component dimensions and tolerances. They can also handle, store and ship precision optical components. Precision Optics Technicians have the minimum required hands-on competencies and experience with fabrication and test of fewer types of optics. Due to the high technical standards and safety issues involved, technicians will receive specialized training in both knowledge and hands-on skill items. The knowledge component comprises of two separate exams totaling 98 questions. These two exams must be taken within a two year period.

Getting the right specifications requires domain knowledge about components and equipment. You need to pick the right cameras, photo diodes, fiber optics, or filters to design to the specs that ultimately produce the images you need. We also play an important role in assembly and industrialization. Instead of picking something from a catalog or cobbling pieces together, we can design and package a custom system in a compact, industry-ready format.

In optical manufacturing, additive manufacturing (AM), as an advanced manufacturing method, has been gaining interest because of its capabilities in the fabrication of extremely complex shapes. Applications of AM in the fabrication of single optical components (e.g. optical crystal) or systems (e.g. the making of an eagle eye) at the microscale or macroscale level have been the focus of recent developments. AM is an especially good fit for products that require a high level of customization.
MPS is utilized to manufacture a wide range of precision optical components, such as microlens arrays (MLAs}, waveguides, and photonic crystals. As an important optical component in photonic systems, microlenses (MLs) have made it possible to build high-performance, miniaturized systems for a wide range of applications, such as imaging, sensing, and optical communication. MPS using a femtosecond laser is a common method of fabricating MLAs.
One of the main advantages of AM over conventional optical manufacturing is its capability of creating multicompound systems at different scales in a single setting without assembly. Recently, Thiele et al[5] demonstrated 3D printing of multilens objectives directly onto a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor image sensor to produce a foveated imaging system. Multilens optical systems, combining both refractive and diffractive optics, are among the wide range of multicomponents that have been manufactured using MPS.
AM processes have shown promising results in the manufacturing of high-performance optical components. The devices and systems consisting of these components have also demonstrated unique features and performance. The exact capability of this exciting technology is difficult to determine based on the existing information. Nevertheless, this review clearly described a promising group of processes with mounting evidence that AM could potentially revolutionize optical fabrication in the near future.
Our location near the optics hub of Rochester, NY means we can work in close partnership with leading optical manufacturers both locally and around the country, delivering precision machined parts for the most demanding optical systems.
The AMC Mobile Cart mapping test assisted with AMC filtration. An isolated air handling scheme could also benefit if it is to be used as intended to manufacture or clean components and sub-systems to be integrated into in the optical DUV OEM tool.
