Edmund Optics^®

Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.

Light pipes are optical components that are typically used to increase the uniformity of a light source or to direct light.

Modular accessories adapt the Spectrolight Mighty Light Illuminator for tuning to a specific wavelength, fiber coupling, collimating, homogenizing, and more

The Mighty Light is a self-contained, low-noise, tunable source of broadband visible and NIR light featuring a tungsten halogen lamp and output power up to 2W

Optical Engineer Andrew Fisher explains how you can see the "invisible" light, or infrared light, from your own TV remote.
