Edmund Optics^®

Discover the different types of testing targets and their ideal applications, advantages, limitations, equations, and examples at Edmund Optics.

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are used to test the transmitted wavefront error of laser beam expanders, predicting the real-world performance of the beam expander.

Testing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is not standardized, so understanding how your optics were tested is critical for predicting performance.

Laser Induced Damage Threshold describes the maximum quantity of laser radiation an optic can take before damaging. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

Join our discussion around laser damage testing in the third episode of our LIGHT TALKS series.

The future depends on quickly and safely detecting elevated body temperatures that may indicate the presence of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 (novel coronavirus).

Optics aid in the quick and accurate serological detection of antibodies to determine if a subject has an immune response to COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus.

Infrared spectroscopy is used to detect harmful chemicals in counterfeit drugs making it critical to combat the opioid crisis, in the field or the lab.

Optics and the manipulation of light are critical for countless applications that save lives and improve quality of life across the world

Laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of optics is a statistical value influenced by defect density, the testing method, and fluctuations in the laser.

Four major trending topics in machine vision technology include edge artificial intelligence (edge AI), AI paired with high-resolution sensors, event-based machine vision, and affordability of SWIR sensor technology.

Edmund Optics is a global stock and custom optics manufacturing company with in house optical designers and on-site metrology and environmental testing.
