Because I have worked in optical and opto-mechanical design for almost 20 years, I have the experience to help with your design challenges. Listed below are some of main engineering services that are offered at Clark Optical Consulting and Prototyping, LLC. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please send me an email, and we can discuss your needs. On the work history tab I have a list of all the projects that I have worked on.
For each of the services listed below, I work to provide you designs that meet your specifications, while also providing tolerance analysis and performance trade offs. I can also help with manufacturability information, such as estimated costs and yield for a given tolerance limit. If you don’t have a design spec and just want to determine if something is feasible or not, I can help there, too.
