Optical Windows provide protection between an optical system or sensitive electronics and an outside environment.

Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

The industry standard method for quantifying reflectivity does not tell the whole story

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

The Laser Optics Lab video series discusses laser optics concepts including specifications, coating technologies, product types, and more

Follow laser crystals through their entire manufacturing process from fabrication, to coating, to quality control in the Edmund Optics Florida facility.

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

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

The Laser Optics Lab video series discusses laser optics concepts including specifications, coating technologies, product types, and more

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

Overspecifying optical losses in laser systems will not further improve your performance or reliability, but it could cost you additional money and/or time.

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

Learn the key parameters that must be considered to ensure you laser application is successful. Common terminology will be established for these parameters.

The TECHSPEC® Vega™ Laser Line Beam Expanders from Edmund Optics® are divergence adjustable to compensate for input beam divergence.

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 most commonly used laser optics materials will allow for easy navigation of EO’s wide selection of laser optics components.
