Brewster Windows

Anti-reflection (AR) coatings are applied to optical components to increase throughput and reduce hazards caused by back-reflections.

Optical coatings are used to influence the transmission, reflection, or polarization properties of an optical component.

Is polarization a new topic for you? Learn about key terminology, types, and more information to help you understand polarization at Edmund Optics.

Determine how to select an optical window based on its material transmission, thermal and mechanical properties, and other specifications at Edmund Optics.

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

Polymer polarizers and retarders, consisting of sheets of polyvinyl alcohol and TAC cellulose triacetate, alter the polarization of light.

Edmund Optics' Polarizer Selection Guide refines your search for a specific type of polarizer.

Waveplates (retarders) are different when used in polarized light than unpolarized light. Consider terminology, fabrication, or applications at Edmund Optics.

Optical Engineer Katie Schwertz explains how 3D movies work because of polarization in a kid-friendly way.

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Choosing the right optical glass is important. Find out factors and properties on how to select the right optical glass at Edmund Optics.
