Summary

Optical Engineering — design, simulation, tolerancing, and validation of optical imaging systems (lenses, sensors, and imaging assemblies). Distinct from sibling electrical, mechanical, or firmware focuses: this focus centers on ray-tracing/optical design software (Zemax, Code V, LightTools), optical physics (diffraction, aberration theory, Fourier optics), image-quality metrics (MTF/PSF, radiometry, photometry), and hands-on lab characterization with interferometers, collimators, and test benches to guarantee end-to-end optical performance.
