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

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

Schwarz Mirrors minimize unwanted stray light using an opaque, engineered fused silica substrate that absorbs light that would otherwise be transmitted.

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

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.

Industry-leading laser optics are more available than ever before through the partnership of UltraFast Innovations and Edmund Optics.

The TECHSPEC® C Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses are high-resolution FA lenses designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics for use in machine vision factory automation and inspection applications.

Happy holidays from Edmund Optics! Learn about the top trends in the photonics industry covered in our Trending in Optics Series in 2022.

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

When measuring minuscule particles, many advanced Life Science applications require more power than one laser produces.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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