Polarizers are used in a wide range of imaging and research and development applications.

Many laser applications are prone to specular reflections back into the source, causing overheating and decreased stability and lifetime.

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.

To select the best translation stage, it is important to understand key specifications such as resolution, load capacity, travel, accuracy, repeatability, and wobble.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Imaging lens performance can be enhanced with the use of liquid lenses. Learn more at Edmund Optics.
