Using an Infrared Application? Discover the importance of choosing the right material and comparisons of each at Edmund Optics.

UV grade fused silica is ideal for UV and visible applications, but IR grade fused silica has better transmission in the IR due to a lack of OH- impurities.

A new generation of small, cost-effective, CW ultraviolet (UV) lasers allows more applications to move to UV wavelengths for increased power and precision.

A new generation of compact, cost-effective ultraviolet (UV) lasers is allowing more applications to benefit from the increased precision of UV wavelengths.

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