Edmund Optics has introduced Techspec divergent adjustable (DA) fixed broadband beam expanders, optimised at a wide range of wavelengths for maximum flexibility, making them ideal for use with demanding tunable laser sources.
A laser-based gas analyser that employs novel optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology was a finalist in this year’s SPIE Prism Awards
Holo/Or’s new single element collimated beam shaper, the Top Hat Cube, is a 25mm cube element that can shape any 3mm input beam into a collimated square or round top hat beam
Edmund Optics’ new Techspec Monolithic Reflective Beam Expanders (Mark I), are ideal for applications that require broadband or achromatic beam expansion
Edmund Optics has introduced new Techspec λ/20 ultraviolet fused silica (UVFS) right angle prisms
Schott has developed two inorganic ceramic phosphor materials that are temperature-stable, heat-conductive, and energy-efficient
At Photonics West, Mirrorcle Technologies introduced OEM MEMS mirror drivers that are more compact and offer lower power consumption
Providing a surface figure of λ/8 RMS and a surface roughness of less than 50Å RMS, these precision mirrors are designed for low scatter in the visible spectrum
Edmund Optics is now offering new Olympus Super Apochromatic Objectives
