The diffraction limit sets the resolution of imaging optics – ignoring it leads to unrealistic expectations.
Confused about geometric optics vs wave optics and how they work together? This article explains what they involve and when to use which.
A Powell Lens converts Gaussian beam profiles into uniform laser lines, reducing central hot spots and enhancing intensity uniformity.
Product Highlights Infrared (IR) lenses are specialized optical elements designed for use in the infrared spectrum, beyond visible light. They gather and focus infrared radiation, enabling thermal detection and imaging. Made from materials like germanium and zinc selenide, these lenses are transparent to infrared wavelengths, suitable for applications in industry, medicine, research, and defense. IR […]

Discover the key considerations and design specifications for off-axis parabolic mirrors in high-performance optical systems.
Design of an Off-Axis Parabola Mirror Off-axis parabolic mirrors, commonly referred to as OAP mirrors, are engineered to manipulate parallel light beams. Unlike standard flat mirrors, they leverage a parabolic section to achieve specific optical functions. Collimation: When a divergent light beam meets the OAP mirror parallel to its optical axis, the parabolic surface collimates […]
Product Highlights: A microscope magnifies objects, revealing details not visible to the naked eye. It can project the image to the eye or a camera for observation or recording. Avantier’s diverse lineup, featuring achromatic, semi-apochromatic, and apochromatic options, ensures superior imaging quality. With magnifications ranging from 1X to 100X and numerical apertures up to 1.45, […]
