LIDT is an essential parameter when selecting and specifying laser optics for laser applications. The LIDT can be determined with the aid of various…
This series of blog articles on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) will start by addressing the causes of LID during manufacture. It will then…
Ultra-short pulse laser is the generic term for all laser sources that generate pulsed laser beams in the picosecond or femtosecond range...
Independent of the application, whether in satellite optics, video lenses or endoscopes – aspheres have already become indispensable in a wide range…
To further increase the performance of optical components such as mirrors and lenses they commonly are treated with an optical coating. The applied…
As already explained within the article "Spheres vs. Aspheres", the use of aspheres in optical systems allows, among other things, more compact…
光学市场上最常用的透镜形状之一仍然是球面。由于成熟的设计和可以精确的制造,其符合高光学质量标准。同时,经济、高精度地生产非球面也是可行的。
Gaussian beam profiles are used in most laser applications. However, there are fields of application in which a homogeneous intensity distribution…
Depending on the production requirements, materials or required accuracy, each of the High-End-Finishing processes represented can convince with…
In the third section we will concentrate on asphericons Ångström-Polishing method. When every photon counts, scattered light is ...
