Optical design is at the heart of Polaris Sensor Technologies strength. Many companies can fabricate
devices if they are given a set of prints, but the companies that are experts in designing opto electronic
systems and also fabricating these systems are few and far between. Polaris has separated itself from
the competition with a core engineering team holding advanced degrees in:

Physics
Optical Design
Electrical engineering
Mechanical engineering
Computer programming
Materials Science

With this set of complementary skills, Polaris approaches every optical design project from multiple
angles taking into consideration environmental, data processing, structural, and optical concerns and
issues. Design and modeling programs available include MATLAB®, Mathcad®, and Mathematica® for
general analysis, ZEMAX® and G-Solver® are used in both refractive and diffractive optical design, and
SolidWorks® and Cosmos® are used for mechanical design. Instrumentation and programming
languages such as LabVIEW®, VisualBasic and C permit rapid prototyping of instrumentation with user
friendly interfaces.
