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

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

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

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

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
