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

Pulse Compression and Dispersion Compensation for Ultrafast Lasers

Ultrafast highly-dispersive mirrors are critical for pulse compression and dispersion compensation in ultrafast laser applications, improving system performance.

The Future Depends on Optics®

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

There are many types of optical prisms. Find examples, information, and applications for different types of optical prisms at Edmund Optics.

Learn about how diffraction gratings separate incident light into separate beam paths, different types of gratings, and how to choose the best grating for you.

Learn how Highly-Dispersive Mirrors compensate for dispersion and compress pulse duration in ultrafast laser systems, which is critical for maximizing performance.

Cinema lenses designed to create content tailored for online streaming utilize aspheres to shoot with a shallow depth of field while maintaining quality.

Anamorphic prism pairs circularize elliptical laser beams, which results in smaller focused spot sizes.

An understanding of refraction and basic ray optics is a critical foundation for understanding more complicated optical concepts and technologies.
