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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Designed for modularity and flexibility, Edmund Optics' TECHSPEC Optical Cage System components are high precision alternatives to complex optical alignment systems.

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

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.

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

First Contact Polymer Solution is an easy-to-use liquid polymer for cleaning the surfaces of lenses and other optical components (see below for a more extensive list)

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.

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

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

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.
