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…

Independent of the application, whether in satellite optics, video lenses or endoscopes – aspheres have already become indispensable in a wide range…

Precision optical components such as lenses or mirrors are almost always provided with an optical coating. The applied layers have different effects…

Aspheres clearly dominate in terms of imaging quality, but this is still reflected in the higher production/measurement effort and thus higher costs compared to the spherical lens…
