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.

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

Monitoring and regulating air pollution is an essential step towards creating a cleaner environment.

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.
