Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

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

A new generation of small, cost-effective, CW ultraviolet (UV) lasers allows more applications to move to UV wavelengths for increased power and precision.

The unique absorption properties of 2µm lasers allow them to create small and precise cuts for medical and materials processing applications

Learn what cylindrical lenses are, how they work, and how they are used in different systems in this guide by Edmund Optics.

Cinema lenses designed to create content tailored for online streaming utilize aspheres to shoot with a shallow depth of field while maintaining quality.

Mounting flat mirrors by their edges in a kinematic mount imparts stress onto the mirror surface. This results in distortion and reduced quality of the reflected wavefront, which is especially noticeable when using high-quality mirrors. Stemmed mirrors, on the other hand, are mounted from a smaller diameter “stem” protruding from the back of the mirror, resulting in significantly reduced stress on the mirror surface, high stability, and cost reduction and can be used as a replacement for a more expensive and complex kinematic mount and a conventional mirror.
