Optical Windows provide protection between an optical system or sensitive electronics and an outside environment.

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

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

Fresnel lenses are composed of a series of concentric grooves etched into one side of a sheet of plastic. Fresnel lenses are unlike typical spherical or aspherical optical lenses.

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

Axicons are conical-shaped optical components used to create a ring-shaped beam.

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

Learn about EO's most popular family of optical lenses and discover if achromatic lenses are ideal for your next application.

Aspherized Achromatic Lenses, exclusive to Edmund Optics, are doublet lenses consisting of two cemented optical elements that are matched for their color-correction ability and small RMS spot size.

Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day.

What is an aspheric lens? In what applications are aspheric lenses used?

Interested in learning about the different types of camera mounts available from Edmund Optics?

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.

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

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

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

TECHSPEC® Liquid Lens Cx Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses from Edmund Optics offer both high resolution and fast electronic focus.

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

A protective plastic coating protects a variety of our flat optics, such as optical windows, optical mirrors, and beamsplitters, from scratches during shipping.

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

Learn how to insert a liquid lens into a modular TECHSPEC Liquid Lens Cx Series Fixed Focal Length Lens Assembly from Edmund Optics.

Edmund Optics® manufactures several different types of ruggedized imaging lens assemblies.

TECHSPEC® Liquid Lens M12 Imaging Lenses from Edmund Optics combine a high-resolution with the electronic auto-focus of an integrated liquid lens

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

Join Stephan Briggs, Biomedical Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses anti-reflective (AR) coatings vs filter coatings

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

Join EO's Nick Sischka, Director of Imaging, as he inspects pipes for various defects using the TECHSPEC Telecentric Lens versus the TECHSPEC Hypercentric Lens.

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.

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.

Laser beam expanders consist of transmissive configurations, with Galilean or Keplerian designs, and reflective configurations, which use a series of mirrors, similar to microscope designs.
