Anti-reflection (AR) coatings are applied to optical components to increase throughput and reduce hazards caused by back-reflections.

While working with machine vision, there are different types of filters that can be used to alter the image. Find out about the different types at Edmund Optics.

The thermal properties of optical substrates including the CTE, dn/dT, and thermal conductivity are critical for predicting real-world performance

Mastering Machine Vision Integration

The surface quality of optical components the scattering off of its surface, which is especially important in laser optics applications.

Single-Material Aspheric Achromats correct chromatic aberrations with a unique geometry, leading to numerous benefits over conventional achromatic lenses.

Pulse Compression and Dispersion Compensation for Ultrafast Lasers

Highly reflective (HR) coatings are applied to optical components to minimize losses when reflecting lasers and other light sources.

Athermalization is a type of ruggedization that mitigates the harmful effects of thermal expansion and defocus in optical and imaging systems.

Superpolished optics with sub-angstrom surface roughness are ideal for precise laser optics applications

The Strehl ratio of an optical system is a comparison of its real performance with its diffraction-limited performance.

Seeing around corners is no longer science fiction thanks to ultrafast lasers and sensitive cameras

Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

There are several metrics used to describe the quality of a laser beam including the M2 factor, the beam parameter product, and power in the bucket
