Understanding the polarization of laser light is critical for many applications, as polarization impacts reflectance, focusing the beam, and other key behaviors.

Quickly Autofocus and Overcome Depth of Field Limitations

Liquid Lenses electronically autofocus imaging systems for machine vision by changing shape in response to an applied current or voltage.

Polarization Directed Flat Lenses, which are formed with polymerized liquid crystal thin-film, create a focal length that is dependent on polarization state.

Liquid lenses have many features, are small in size, and adjust focus quickly to adapt to objects located at various working distances. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

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

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