Aubor's professional optical design team
Aubor's optical design team is a small but elite group of 6 people, all of whom graduated from top optics or physics majors at home and abroad:
2 PhD backbones, specialising in optical system modelling and algorithm optimisation, and responsible for cutting-edge simulations and free-form surface design;
3 senior engineers, proficient in Zemax, Code V, LightTools, able to quickly come up with optimal solutions in complex optical paths and space-constrained scenarios;
One optical test engineer is online 24/7 to ensure the consistency between design and mass production, and uses self-developed software and high-precision testing equipment as the final gatekeeper.
We advocate ‘Agile Iteration + Cross-departmental Collaboration.
1
Freeform Surface Design
Software such as Zemax, CODE V, LightTools, TracePro for the design of aspherical and free-form systems for aberration minimisation and system miniaturisation.
2
Multi-physics field simulation
“We conduct multi-physics field simulations—integrating thermal, optical, and mechanical behaviors—to guide precise material selection. This ensures optimal performance of the entire optical system from design to final application.”
3
LightTools / TracePro/CODE V
By leveraging CODE V and TracePro, we simulate complex optical systems with high precision—optimizing aberrations, luminance uniformity, and system tolerance to ensure our lenses perform reliably in medical imaging, machine vision, and sensor applications.
