Edmund Optics^®

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

Learn how to protect your laser system from damage using optical isolators and coatings designed for high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT).

WEBINAR: Join us for a 40-minute webinar presented by Sony Semiconductor Solutions Americas’ VP of Technology and Business Innovation, Mark Hanson, and Edmund Optics' Director of Imaging, Nicholas Sischka, to understand the nuance between AI, Edge AI, and Vision AI; what makes Sony AITRIOS unique; and how Lucid Vision Labs is putting the IMX500 sensor to action.

Join us for a discussion on selecting the best ultrafast laser sources and optical components for your ultrafast microscopy system to maximize performance.

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
