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

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

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

Edmund Optics offers a variety of kinematic, bar-type, translating, ring, and modular mounting components.

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.

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

Polarization Directed Flat Lenses, which are formed with polymerized liquid crystal thin-film, create a focal length that is dependent on polarization state.

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

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

This is a quick video demonstration of integrating an optical cage system interchangeable optical mount and side access mounting plate using #85-717 and #85-641.

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.

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

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

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

Join Stephan Briggs, Biomedical Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses anti-reflective (AR) coatings vs filter coatings

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