Edmund Optics^®

Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.

Edmund Optics offers a variety of kinematic, bar-type, translating, ring, and modular mounting components.

Large Diameter Gimbal Optical Mounts available from Edmund Optics are used to integrate large precision optical components, such as mirrors, into OEM and benchtop systems.

Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

E-Series Kinematic Optical Mounts provide high value and essential features for applications including lab use, prototyping, and system integration

There are numerous mount types for connecting an imaging lens to a camera. Depending on the application, some mounts are more useful than others.

The polarization state of a laser source is important for many different applications.

Understanding Rowland circle and polychromator mounts for diffraction gratings is important for selecting the proper concave grating for your application.

Join Chris Williams as he briefly explains the basics of how to align a laser system onto a target.

Learn why the bulk laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of glass is significantly different than the LIDT optical components with coatings, such as AR thin films.

Understanding the polarization of laser light is critical for many applications, as polarization impacts reflectance, focusing the beam, and other key behaviors.
