Superpolished optics with sub-angstrom surface roughness are ideal for precise laser optics applications

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

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

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.

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.

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