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.
