Seeing the unseen – with optical precision

ATE designs and manufactures advanced optical systems that turn light into insight. From custom lenses to complex sensor integration, we build precision optics for high-stakes environments — including medical diagnostics, industrial automation, defense, and aerospace.

What we offer

We go far beyond standard optics. As an OEM partner and optical system developer, we co-create technologies that unlock new capabilities — whether you need compact image sensors, beam management systems, or full lens assemblies.

Application areas

  • Industrial and medical imaging
  • High-speed data transmission
  • Gas and fluid spectroscopy
  • Space-based optical systems
  • Integrated optics for defense or life sciences

Products

ATE delivers tailored optical components and systems for complex, high-performance applications. Below are examples of our precision-engineered solutions:
PCB and PCBA Design

PCB and PCBA design

Optical systems will almost newer stand alone today. Most customers want and need to store images made from our optical solutions. Often it is done to process the images the optical solutions capture or to save them for documentation.

Depending on the type of specifications from our customers, we advise them to use a pre-made PBC solution, which is often the cheapest thing to do, and the fast track to completion.

Alternatively, we will design the correct PCB and PCBA for the solution you need, so everything is within your project’s specifications.

We have done so many times, and we know the industry and the pitfalls of creating your custom PCB or PCBA unit.

Optical sensors

Optical sensors for industrial use

For many of the products we design and manufacture, we naturally use lenses, but to capture and store information, we combine them with optical industrial-grade sensors and other IT hardware or integration to hardware outside the product we manufacture.

OEM optics — from prototype to production

ATE provides a complete OEM development service, from initial co-design to sample production and high-volume delivery. We offer:

  • Lens production from 0.8 mm to 350 mm
  • Materials including BK7, fused silica, CaF₂, and custom crystals
  • Precision AR, HR, and filter coatings
  • Full in-house quality control and measurement systems
  • Cleanroom-level standards across optics and electronics assembly

Whether you need a drop-in component or a full optical subsystem, we deliver with confidentiality, precision, and scalability.

How we work

We collaborate closely with your R&D and engineering teams to solve optical challenges — not just meet specs. Our strength lies in deep cross-disciplinary integration: combining optics, electronics, mechanics, and embedded software in a seamless solution.

We work behind the scenes to make your product world-class.

Our approach

We don’t build technology for the sake of technology. We build solutions that make a real difference.
