Edmund Optics^®

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

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

Continuing from where Part I: X-Y Setup ends, learn how to add a Z-axis to an existing X-Y configuration to achieve three degrees of freedom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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