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.

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

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

Edmund Optics is a global stock and custom optics manufacturing company with in house optical designers and on-site metrology and environmental testing.

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

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

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

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

SWIR, or short-wave infrared, is light invisible to the human eye but detectable by specialized infrared imaging lenses and cameras.

Hyperspectral and multispectral imaging are imaging technologies that capture information from a broader portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Monitoring and regulating air pollution is an essential step towards creating a cleaner environment.

Edmund Optics now features an improved specification search! This specification search allows you to quickly find products by selecting specifications based on the specific product you are looking for.

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

Imaging lens assemblies are vital components for a wide range of cutting edge applications including machine vision, biomedical instruments, factory automation, and robotics.

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

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

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

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.

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

The TECHSPEC® MercuryTL™ Liquid Lens Telecentric Lenses combine the parallax error correction and high image quality of a telecentric lens with the flexibility of an integrated liquid lens.

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

Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.

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