There are several metrics used to describe the quality of a laser beam including the M2 factor, the beam parameter product, and power in the bucket

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

Do you have a question about spatial filters? Learn more about how spatial filters are used with lasers and improve a beam at Edmund Optics.

Advances in laser technology have made it possible to produce pulses ranging from a few femtoseconds to tens of attoseconds. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

The length of a laser resonator determines the laser’s resonator modes, or the electric field distributions that cause a standing wave in the cavity.

Not sure which type of illumination you should use for your system? Learn more about the pros and cons of different illumination types at Edmund Optics.

Learn about the different types of optical prisms, their applications, and how to select the right prism for your specific system.

Laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) denotes the maximum laser fluence an optical component can withstand with an acceptable amount of risk.
