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

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

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

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

Edmund Optics offers both fixed power and zoom beam expanders. Knowing which beam expander is right for your application can greatly improve system efficiency.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Edmund Optics® (EO) manufactures millions of precision optical components and subassemblies every year in our 5 global manufacturing facilities.

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

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

Join Stephan Briggs, Biomedical Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses tips for verifying filter performance.

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

Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPCs) are concentrator lenses made from rotated parabolic shapes to create specific acceptance angles through which divergent light is collected.

A protective plastic coating protects a variety of our flat optics, such as optical windows, optical mirrors, and beamsplitters, from scratches during shipping.

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

Join Ehren O'Donnell, Product Engineer, as he briefly explains our hydrophobic coatings capabilities and the differences between a hydrophobic coated and non-hydrophobic coated optic.

Optotune Focus-Tunable lenses feature a liquid polymer substrate with continuous focusability.

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.
