Optics for 261.4nm Lasers are manufactured with tight surface tolerances and high laser damage thresholds to meet the demanding needs of UV laser systems. With lenses, mirrors, and windows designed for 261.4nm available, these optics provide a solution for beam focusing, beam steering, and protecting sensitive components. Optics designed for 266nm that work well at 261nm, including filters, beam expanders, and beam shaping optics, are also available along with UV detection and measurement products. Optics for 261.4nm Lasers are ideal for use with UV lasers, such as the UVC Photonics Model 261 Laser, in applications including UV disinfection systems, biomedical fluorescence, and UV Raman spectroscopy. Please contact us if your application requires a 261.4nm optical component with a custom size, geometry, or coating.
Polarization Directed Flat Lenses, which are formed with polymerized liquid crystal thin-film, create a focal length that is dependent on polarization state.
Free-space optical (FSO) communications wirelessly transmit data through the air using lasers. FSO promises to revolutionize broadband internet access.
What are the advantages of increasing lens diameter in high-power optical systems?
Increasing the diameter of optical components reduces power or energy density in a system, reducing the likelihood of laser-induced damage in high-power...
A Guide to (Not Over) Specifying Losses in Laser Optics
Overspecifying optical losses in laser systems will not further improve your performance or reliability, but it could cost you additional money and/or time.
Modifying Stock Optics Tip #4: Add A Coating To A Stock Lens
Join Andrew Fisher, Manufacturing R&D Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses some tips for modifying stock optical components to fit your application's needs.
Laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of optics is a statistical value influenced by defect density, the testing method, and fluctuations in the laser.
Not all optical components are tested for laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and testing methods differ, resulting in different types of LIDT specifications.
Learn the key parameters that must be considered to ensure you laser application is successful. Common terminology will be established for these parameters.
Testing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is not standardized, so understanding how your optics were tested is critical for predicting performance.
Laser Polarization: The Importance of Polarization in Laser Applications
Understanding the polarization of laser light is critical for many applications, as polarization impacts reflectance, focusing the beam, and other key behaviors.
