Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

The diffraction pattern caused when light passes through an aperture is called the Airy Disk. Find out how the Airy Disk can impact your image at Edmund Optics.

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

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

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

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

Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of diffraction gratings and how to choose the best grating for your specific optical application.

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.

Multiphoton microscopy is ideal for capturing high-resolution 3D images with reduced photobleaching and phototoxicity compared to confocal microscopy.
