Learn how Highly-Dispersive Mirrors compensate for dispersion and compress pulse duration in ultrafast laser systems, which is critical for maximizing performance.

Mirrors are commonly used to fold or compact an optical system.

E-Series Kinematic Optical Mounts provide high value and essential features for applications including lab use, prototyping, and system integration

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

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

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.

爱特蒙特光学（Edmund Optics）提供的大尺寸万向节光学镜架可用于将大尺寸精密光学元件（如反射镜）集成到 OEM 和台式系统中。

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

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

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

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

Laser beam expanders consist of transmissive configurations, with Galilean or Keplerian designs, and reflective configurations, which use a series of mirrors, similar to microscope designs.

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

LC (Low Cost) Fixed YAG Beam Expanders are simple 2-element, cost-effective solutions to beam expansion.

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.

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

Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day.

Although a common misconception, individual optical lenses do not always form an image when the object plane is placed a focal length away from the lens.

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

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

Learn how to specify imaging system components.

Knowing how to properly clean your optical components is an easy way to maintain system performance and save money by decreasing the risk of component damage.

When doing basic imaging, how do you determine the magnification an optical lens will provide?

Fresnel lenses are composed of a series of concentric grooves etched into one side of a sheet of plastic. Fresnel lenses are unlike typical spherical or aspherical optical lenses.

TECHSPEC® Liquid Lens M12 Imaging Lenses from Edmund Optics combine a high-resolution with the electronic auto-focus of an integrated liquid lens

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

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

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