Edmund Optics^®

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Join Ehren O'Donnell, Product Engineer, as he briefly explains our hydrophobic coatings capabilities and the differences between a hydrophobic coated and non-hydrophobic coated optic.

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

Optical coatings are composed of thin-film layers used to enhance transmission or reflection properties within an optical system.

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

Edmund Optics (EO) manufactures over 5 million optical components every year at our global facilities in the Americas and Asia.

Celebrate 70 years with EO! Take a journey from 1942 to 2012 and beyond.

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

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

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

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

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