Optics Expert Witnesses

Optics is a science that concerns the genesis and extension of light, as well as the changes that light undergoes and produces. This discipline is of interest to many different types of experts in a variety of industries.

Our Optics Expert Witnesses and Consultants at ForensisGroup are very experienced in several areas of technical engineering. They have vast practical and theoretical experience in the field of optoelectronics, optical communications, optoelectronics (LEDs, laser diodes), photonics (PICs, OEICs, silicon photonics, polarizers, MEMS, optical switches, solar cells), and optics assembly. These optics experts also specialize in optical and image processing and optical devices, such as laser, multi-spectral, LED, and digital and analog signal processing

The expert witness experience of these optics specialists includes assisting attorneys with depositions, reporting, and testimony in matters concerning optoelectronic/optic materials, epitaxy, components, systems, integrated circuits, and networks. They have made assessments of optics patents and technology and conducted validity examinations.

These professionals have experience as executives of manufacturing companies of photonic integrated circuits, an optoelectronics professor, and engineers who have designed, developed, and tested of a broad range of optical products. Many of our optics experts participate in national organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Optical Society (OSA), and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE).

Attorneys have partnered with ForensisGroup for expert witness referrals since 1991. Call our office today at (800) 555-5422 or Submit An Expert Request Form to retain a qualified optics expert witness for your case.
