A beam splitter cube is a key component of a Polarizing Beam Splitter, also known as a polarization beam splitter or polarized beam splitter.
The Difference Between a Mirror and a Lens lies in their use of a reflective surface, with various types of mirrors available.
High precision optical tolerances are essential for ensuring the precise dimensions and quality of optical components.
Key Takeaways The fisheye lens, with variations such as full-frame and circular fisheye lenses, is explored in terms of lens features and applications in the content. Wide-angle lenses capture panoramic views with straight lines, suitable for diverse scenarios. Fisheye lenses offer a unique spherical perspective with barrel distortion, serving surveillance and creative purposes. Both lenses […]
Key Takeaways Infrared camera lenses, crucial for thermal imaging, optimize performance based on focal length and the specific infrared lens wavelength range. Lenses are made from infrared-transparent materials like germanium, silicon, and zinc selenide, providing unique optical properties. Focal length is critical; longer lengths enhance long-range detection, while shorter lengths offer a wider field of […]
Objective lenses, essential in optical instruments, require aberration correction to optimize performance and influence field of view.
An optical drawing is a detailed plan that allows us to manufacture optical components according to a design and given specifications. When optical designers and engineers come up with a design, they condense it in an optical drawing that can be understood by manufacturers anywhere. ISO 10110 is the most popular standard for optical drawing. […]
An IR lens is an optical lens designed to collimate, focus, or collect infrared light. At Avantier Inc., we produce high performance IR Optics such as IR lenses for use with near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra. These Infrared lenses can be customized for specific areas of the […]
A microscope is an optical device designed to magnify the image of an object, enabling details indiscernible to the human eye to be differentiated. A microscope may project the image onto the human eye or onto a camera or video device. Historically microscopes were simple devices composed of two elements. Like a magnifying glass today, […]
