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

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

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

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

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.

Learn how to choose the right beam expander for your laser system in this tutorial from Dr. Mary Turner, Technical Fellow at Edmund Optics

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