Edmund Optics^®

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

爱特蒙特光学（Edmund Optics）提供的大尺寸万向节光学镜架可用于将大尺寸精密光学元件（如反射镜）集成到 OEM 和台式系统中。

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Edmund Optics offers a variety of kinematic, bar-type, translating, ring, and modular mounting components.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Mirrors are commonly used to fold or compact an optical system.
