CDM Optics

CDM Optics is a specialized optical technology company known for pioneering Wavefront Coding (WFC), a method that combines optical design and digital signal processing to enhance imaging performance. Founded in 1996 as a spin-off from the University of Colorado Boulder, the company's technology significantly increases the depth of field and reduces aberrations in various optical systems. Its applications span across consumer electronics, industrial imaging, and medical devices, particularly in endoscopy and microscopy. In 2005, CDM Optics was acquired by OmniVision Technologies to integrate its advanced computational imaging capabilities into CMOS image sensors. The technology remains a foundational element in the development of high-performance, compact imaging solutions for healthcare and diagnostics.
