When measuring minuscule particles, many advanced Life Science applications require more power than one laser produces.

Join Chris Williams as he briefly explains the basics of how to align a laser system onto a target.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As a family owned business for almost 75 years, the bond between family has long been the foundation of Edmund Optics.

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.

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

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

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