Edmund Optics^®

Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.

Edmund Optics offers a variety of kinematic, bar-type, translating, ring, and modular mounting components.

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.

E-Series Kinematic Optical Mounts provide high value and essential features for applications including lab use, prototyping, and system integration

Optical coatings are composed of thin-film layers used to enhance transmission or reflection properties within an optical system.

Back reflections are created when some or part of your beam are reflected back to the source.

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.
