Learn how to specify imaging system components.

Back reflections are created when some or part of your beam are reflected back to the source.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Edmund Optics' Chief Operating Officer, Samuel Sadoulet, provides his inside perspective on the optics industry for 2013.

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

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

Are you unsure of proper optics handling techniques?

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.
