Learn how to make repeatable adjustments in more than one direction for any demanding optics, imaging, or photonics application with this simple, three minute video.

Polarizers are used in a wide range of imaging and research and development applications.

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

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.
