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

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

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

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

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.

Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day.
