Edmund Optics^®

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

Learn how to specify imaging system components.

Metrology is critical for ensuring that optical components consistently meet their desired specifications, especially in laser applications.

Testing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is not standardized, so understanding how your optics were tested is critical for predicting performance.

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

Advances in laser technology have made it possible to produce pulses ranging from a few femtoseconds to tens of attoseconds. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

Discover the different types of testing targets and their ideal applications, advantages, limitations, equations, and examples at Edmund Optics.

Learn how to assemble, align, and use a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer completely out of off-the-shelf products from Edmund Optics in this detailed guide.

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are used to test the transmitted wavefront error of laser beam expanders, predicting the real-world performance of the beam expander.

Specialized coatings can minimize thermal lensing in ultrafast laser systems, which are particularly susceptible to detrimental thermal effects.

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
