Ron Gibbs – Optical Design Consultant

Who am I, and what do I do?

I am Ron Gibbs of Gibbs Associates, an independent optical engineering consultancy specialising in helping clients to design and develop advanced optical, electro-optical and optical scanning systems. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, and the services I offer to businesses involved in these exciting and challenging technologies.

Before I started my consultancy business in 1993, I had worked for eighteen years on the design and development of optical, electro-optical and laser systems within various companies, after graduating from the world-renowned Applied Optics department of Imperial College. Most recently I had been with Crosfield Electronics Ltd., a world-leading manufacturer of high-performance scanning systems for the commercial printing industry, where I rose to the position of Head of Optical and Mechanical Engineering. Since then, I have acted as optical engineering consultant on a wide variety of projects that have included developments of

*    solar concentrators
*    white LED lighting systems
*    confocal scanning laser microscope
*    advanced optical biosensors
*    laser platesetters
*    large-format colour document scanners
*    digital photographic printers
*    telecine scanners
*    laser display systems

My clients have included manufacturers of electro-optical systems and components in the UK, Europe and USA

Are you a potential client?
