Syntec Optics and Wordingham Technologies produce high-quality night vision goggles and systems. There are two distinct technologies that can be used in night vision: Image Enhancement (collects tiny amounts of light including the lower portion of IR spectrum, imperceptible to human eye, and amplifies it) and Thermal Imaging (captures upper portion of IR spectrum, emitted as heat by objects). Defense Optical solutions by Syntec Optics are ideal for all your night vision system needs.

Biometric Security is on the rise. In today’s highly digitized world, users prefer biometric fingerprint recognition and biometric facial recognition for identification and access to their gadgets. This saves them from the task of remembering passwords for almost all the accounts they have on the cloud. Biometrics security applications are not only limited to this. They are being exercised in place of almost every conventional security system. Syntec Optics leverages its expertise in diamond turning, custom optics and optical assemblies to provide efficient hardware solutions for biometrics security programs. The software team at Syntec Optics develops sophisticated algorithms for image enhancement, feature extraction and matching to provide our customers with fast processing software applications for various biometrics technologies. This includes biometric fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, face recognition, retina recognition etc.

Infrared imaging is used in many defense applications to enable high-resolution vision and identification in near and total darkness. Thanks to recent advances, optics companies and government labs are improving low-light-level vision, identification capability, power conservation and cost. In addition to the ever-present demand to reduce size, weight and power, the trend in the military and defense industry is to develop technology that cuts costs, i.e. to do more with less.

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) or virtual reality headsets or VR headsets are an important hardware component of virtual reality systems. It is crucial to know light propagation in the physical world to understand virtual reality. In the present generation of VR headsets, a system of both natural (human eyes) and engineered lenses guide the light. Optical components play a critical part in the functioning of a VR headset.

2D and 3D Scanners use light to make digital copies of real-world objects. 2D scanners are usually used to make digital copies of documents or pictures but can also be used to create 2D images of objects. 3D scanners use reflected laser light to build up a three-dimensional model of an object. 2D/3D scanners detect, measure and evaluate profiles on different object surfaces without contact.

Syntec Optics, your source for custom molded optics, was commissioned to custom manufacture a Lexan LED headlamp used in an illumination application for the defense industry. We have manufactured complex optical inserts for the mold using our state-of-the-art Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) process.
We perform a series of tests and inspections on our heads up display polymer prisms and other diamond turning optics, including extensive testing on the coating. The optical luster is considerably improved through Syntec’s innovation as compared to previous versions attempted by competitors. The finished Syntec product has proved to be of superior quality and design with better optical performance at a lower cost to the customer.

Laser sights are devices that aid aiming, that give the user an aimpoint in the form of an illuminated red dot. A standard design uses a red light-emitting diode (LED) at the focus of collimating optics which generates a dot style illuminated reticle that stays in alignment with the weapon. Laser sights play an important role in applications such as target shooting, hunting and in police and military applications. Apart from firearm applications, laser sights are also used on cameras and telescopes. Laser targeting also finds applications in biomedical and industrial applications.

Optical domes and windows protect sensitive systems like optical sensors in LIDAR systems. LIDAR systems are used in self-driving cars, airplanes, submarines, etc. applications. Optical domes and windows need to withstand the respective environments. Optical performance may be compromised somewhat to prioritize protective features.
