Optical Windows provide protection between an optical system or sensitive electronics and an outside environment.

Optical Filters are used to selectively transmit or block certain wavelengths or wavelength ranges within optical systems.

Join Chris Williams as he briefly explains the basics of how to align a laser system onto a target.

Many laser applications are prone to specular reflections back into the source, causing overheating and decreased stability and lifetime.

Interested in learning about the different types of camera mounts available from Edmund Optics?

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Confused about the differences between traditional-coated and hard-coated optical filters?

Acktar Advanced Coatings produces light-absorbing components and materials to control stray light and eliminate noise from specular reflection.

Monolithic Reflective Beam Expanders are ideal for applications requiring broadband or achromatic beam expansion.

Polarizers are used in a wide range of imaging and research and development applications.

Learn about the metrology that Edmund Optics® uses to guarantee the quality of all optical components and assemblies.

When determining which laser to use for your application, consider the following specifications: wavelength, coherence length, beam divergence, and Rayleigh range.

Collimated light occurs when light rays travel parallel to each other.

Easily add and remove optical filters from any cage system setup after viewing this quick demonstration of integrating a filter holder plate and interchangeable filter holder using #86-018 and #85-649.

When measuring minuscule particles, many advanced Life Science applications require more power than one laser produces.

Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPCs) are concentrator lenses made from rotated parabolic shapes to create specific acceptance angles through which divergent light is collected.

Edmund Optics utilizes Diamond Turning to produce a wide range of high precision optical components.

Join Ehren O'Donnell, Product Engineer, as he briefly explains our hydrophobic coatings capabilities and the differences between a hydrophobic coated and non-hydrophobic coated optic.

A protective plastic coating protects a variety of our flat optics, such as optical windows, optical mirrors, and beamsplitters, from scratches during shipping.

Optical coatings are composed of thin-film layers used to enhance transmission or reflection properties within an optical system.

Light pipes are optical components that are typically used to increase the uniformity of a light source or to direct light.

The success of your machine vision application depends on the quality of your optical components.

Back reflections are created when some or part of your beam are reflected back to the source.

Beamsplitters do exactly what their name implies: split incident light beams.
