Centre Excellence - Modules and Subsystems



In many cases, our customers require far more than just an optical component. This is amplified by the fact that today's integrators and system builders are seeking to add more value to their systems, requiring the added benefit of a partner who can provide bespoke, integrated solutions, combining optics with mechanical and electronic interfacing. To address this, Qioptiq is proud to offer a world leading capability in the design, development and manufacture of bespoke optical sub systems and modules supported by an unrivalled service network.

During our 100-year heritage, we have further developed this capability to include specific products and optomechanical modules. This capability ranges from zooming systems (VIS & IR) to fully integrated IR Search and Track modules, from avionic head-up display modules to world leading thermal and night vision modules and laser protection systems.

Zoom technology is fundamental to many optical systems. Priding ourselves as a renowned world leader in optical zoom technology, we offer the design, development and manufacture of innovative optical zoom modules, from compact, processor controlled machine vision zoom systems, through to fully athermalised, far infra-red zoom systems for tracking applications.

We offer a series of law enforcement solutions, which include high performance night vision capabilities enhancing protection through surveillance, covert observation, counter terrorism and other specialised applications. Other common applications for this technology includes vehicle displays, fire control and weapon aiming sights.
