Optical Filters are used to selectively transmit or block certain wavelengths or wavelength ranges within optical systems.

Edmund Optics offers a variety of kinematic, bar-type, translating, ring, and modular mounting components.

Mirrors are commonly used to fold or compact an optical system.

Designed for modularity and flexibility, Edmund Optics' TECHSPEC Optical Cage System components are high precision alternatives to complex optical alignment systems.

Large Diameter Gimbal Optical Mounts available from Edmund Optics are used to integrate large precision optical components, such as mirrors, into OEM and benchtop systems.

This is a quick video demonstration of integrating an optical cage system interchangeable optical mount and side access mounting plate using #85-717 and #85-641.

E-Series Kinematic Optical Mounts provide high value and essential features for applications including lab use, prototyping, and system integration

Confused about the differences between traditional-coated and hard-coated optical filters?

Many laser applications are prone to specular reflections back into the source, causing overheating and decreased stability and lifetime.

Collimated light occurs when light rays travel parallel to each other.

When doing basic imaging, how do you determine the magnification an optical lens will provide?

Although a common misconception, individual optical lenses do not always form an image when the object plane is placed a focal length away from the lens.

Free-space optical (FSO) communications transmit information wirelessly through the air using lasers with improved bandwidth. Learn more!
