Learn about ghost images in optical systems, which are faint second images caused by reflections within an optical component, from Kristina Kaszei.

Short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging applications require specialized imaging optics, as lenses designed for visible use are not optimized for SWIR wavelengths

Join Edmund Optics' real band of employees as they rock out to the holidays -- optics style.

Join Greg Hollows, Director of the Imaging Business Unit and EO's Imaging Expert, as he reviews some Best Practice to consider when designing an imaging system.

Learn about the key impacts of temperature on imaging performance and how the athermalization of lenses can maintain performance in harsh environments.

Several of the most interesting trends in optics and photonics of 2021 were the landing of the Perseverance Rover on Mars, Stemmed Mirrors, minimizing thermal lensing in ultrafast laser systems, and developments in ultraviolet lasers.

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

Athermalization ruggedization is done to maintain imaging performance through significant temperature swings, which is ideal for applications like aerospace.

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.
