Concerns about your IP or know-how?

At YKP Optics, we understand the importance of safeguarding your intellectual property and know-how. We value the trust you place in us when utilizing our services, and we want to assure you that your sensitive information is always handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.


When it comes to developing custom software extensions for your optical design needs, we want to make it clear: you have nothing to worry about. Based on the nature of the project, we either develop the extensions without any Zemax / CODE V file input from your side or request a simple dummy file to begin crafting your custom code.


Rest assured, we prioritize the confidentiality of your data and ensure strict security measures are in place throughout our collaboration. Your peace of mind is our priority.


If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your data, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide clarity and transparency every step of the way.
