Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

Edmund Optics offers both fixed power and zoom beam expanders. Knowing which beam expander is right for your application can greatly improve system efficiency.

Sliding focusing mechanisms for laser beam expanders cause less beam wander than rotating focusing mechanisms, but they use more complex mechanics and are typically more expensive.

The unique absorption properties of 2µm lasers allow them to create small and precise cuts for medical and materials processing applications

Are standard beam expanders not meeting your application requirements? Learn how to design your own beam expander using stock optics at Edmund Optics.

LAB SERIES: Join us for a discussion in the imaging lab about the fundamentals of microscope objectives and introductory concepts needed for understanding how to use them in machine vision systems.

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are used to test the transmitted wavefront error of laser beam expanders, predicting the real-world performance of the beam expander.

This 2-part webinar series explores different techniques for laser beam shaping and how they can improve the performance of your laser application.
