Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

Highly reflective (HR) coatings are applied to optical components to minimize losses when reflecting lasers and other light sources.

Learn about how diffraction gratings separate incident light into separate beam paths, different types of gratings, and how to choose the best grating for you.

Watch how LZH uses the Cailabs Canunda Reflective Axicons to improve the efficiency and quality of glass cutting by generating high-power Bessel beams.

Understanding Rowland circle and polychromator mounts for diffraction gratings is important for selecting the proper concave grating for your application.

Diffraction gratings separate polychromatic light into component wavelengths.

Reflective objectives use mirrors to focus light or form an image. Learn more about the different types and benefits of reflective objectives at Edmund Optics.

Ultrafast highly-dispersive mirrors are critical for pulse compression and dispersion compensation in ultrafast laser applications, improving system performance.

Laser beam expanders consist of transmissive configurations, with Galilean or Keplerian designs, and reflective configurations, which use a series of mirrors, similar to microscope designs.
