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.

Mirrors are commonly used to fold or compact an optical system.

Edmund Optics presents a demonstration of the TECHSPEC® 90° Kinematic Adapter (#34-248).

Schwarz Mirrors minimize unwanted stray light using an opaque, engineered fused silica substrate that absorbs light that would otherwise be transmitted.

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