Dream can design,
analyze and produce a wide range of optical systems, from numerous
forms of Cassegrains to corrected Newtonians to wide field 1m
Prime Focus Telescopes. Our lead optical engineer has 35 years
of both design and implementation experience, especially with
fast & demanding optical systems. Dream's technologies enable
our customers to get the most out of their high performance systems by using truly modern materials,
techniques and designs. This can include the use of carbon fiber
lens barrels and internal spacers for improved dynamic temperature
performance of corrective optics. |
|
Finished instruments
have the lowest possible maintenance due to Dream's unique technologies.
They are low in total mass, have an extremely low CTE, are corrosion
resistant and have a higher stiffness (and
strength) to
weight ratio than conventional materials. They are designed from
the ground up for remote/robotic use. Because of their near zero
maintenance they are ideal for science, education and numerous
additional applications. |
|
|
Dream works in the
UV, visual, NIR, Mid to Far IR. Used for; lasercom, LIDAR, AO,
astmospheric research, surveys, discoveries, airborne, balloon-borne,
optical systems used in demanding thermal environments, etc. |
|
|
Customers using Dream's
technologies: US Air Force, NASA, Raytheon, Honeywell, numerous
government R&D labs, Universities, Professionals, as well
as numerous OEM's, for world-wide customers. Dream is currently
registered with DOD & DOE customers, as well as sam.gov. |
