Edmund Optics^®

Multiphoton microscopy is ideal for capturing high-resolution 3D images with reduced photobleaching and phototoxicity compared to confocal microscopy.

Do you want to know more about the importance of optical specifications? Learn the different types of specifications and their impact on your system at Edmund Optics.

Learn all about the benefits of aspheres, their unique anatomy, how they're manufactured, and how to choose the right one for your system.

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

Understanding Gaussian beam propagation is critical for understanding laser systems because many lasers are assumed to have Gaussian profiles.

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

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

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

Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day.

Master the fundamentals of ultrafast lasers and how to choose optics that can withstand their high powers and short pulse durations.

Beam expanders can be used in reverse to decrease a laser beam's diameter, but divergence will be increased.

Properly aligning the mechanical mount for AdlOptica laser beam shapers from Edmund Optics is critical for maximizing throughput and performance.

Learn how to align an AdlOptica πShaper from Edmund Optics, which converts input Gaussian laser beams to flat top profiles with nearly 100% efficiency.

Learn how to align an AdlOptica Focal-πShaper Q Flat Top Beam Shaper, which convers Gaussian beams to Airy disk profiles, resulting in flat top focused spots.
