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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The success of your machine vision application depends on the quality of your optical components.

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

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

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

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

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

Optics and the manipulation of light are critical for countless applications that save lives and improve quality of life across the world

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.
