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

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.

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.

Join Andrew Fisher, Manufacturing R&D Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses some tips for modifying stock optical components to fit your application's needs.

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

The Future Depends on Optics®

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liquid lenses can be used to maximize imaging system flexibility across a wide variety of applications requiring rapid focusing.

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

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

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。

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Future Depends on Optics®

Edmund Optics offers both fixed power and zoom beam expanders. Knowing which beam expander is right for your application can greatly improve system efficiency.
