Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

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

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

Learn about Edmund Optics' ultrafast laser optics capabilities in this interview with Tony Karam from the PhotonicsNEXT Summit in January 2021.

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

Learn about Edmund Optics' acquisition of Quality Thin Films in this interview with Mike Middleton and James Karchner from the 2021 PhotonicsNEXT Summit.

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

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

Lasers can induce photo-thermal and photo-chemical changes to retinal tissue to modify structures responsible for a specific vision impairment, like in LASIK.

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

Laser optics are critical for skin care procedures such as hair removal, acne and scar reduction, tattoo removal, sunspot removal, and skin revitalization.

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

Learn about trends in laser applications including increasing powers and decreasing pulse durations in this conversation with Kasia Sieluzycka and Nick Smith.

Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

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.

Learn how to minimize laser-induced contamination in ultraviolet (UV) laser systems in this webinar. Improve your throughput and damage threshold!

Geopolitics and export controls have significantly impacted the accessibility of coating materials for laser optics

Superpolished optics with sub-angstrom surface roughness are ideal for precise laser optics applications

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