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

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

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

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