DynaOptics

The company’s freeform technology originated from Alvarez’s work, with patents covering the Alvaraz Zoom design for high zoom ratios in a thin package.

The company’s freeform lenses optimize resolution, depth of field, and wide-angle imaging without aberrations in compact lenses.

FreeForm Lens Technology enables optical solutions with higher resolution, wider field-of-view, lower aberrations, and low light performance not possible with traditional optics, all in a smaller form factor.

Design, Consulting, Prototyping, and Testing to Support Production.

DynaOptics has actively participated in conferences, journals, and webinars to help develop a better and broader appreciation across the industry for freeform technology.

DynaOptics designs high-performance FreeForm optics and custom optical systems that are valuable for mobile phone cameras, self-driving cars, UAVs, security systems, medical and other industries.
