The subject of temperature effects on optical elements is somewhat subtle. The expression is actually only an approximation, since it leaves out the effects of the refractive index of air. Flat ...

Laser mirrors are used on the surface of solid-state lasers including alexandrite, Nd-glass, ruby, and YAG types. They are also used in conjunction with other optical elements and components, on the ...

OptiCore is a Blender-addon to provide accurate and well-defined models of optical elements (lenses, mirrors, ...) as well as optimechanical components (optical bench, posts, ...). These models can ...

An optical aperture may be the edge of a lens or mirror, or a ring or other fixture that holds an optical element in place, or it may be a special element placed in the optical path deliberately to ...

Rather than using both a spherical mirror and a plane mirror for this purpose, both functions may be combined in one element. The lower number of optical elements increases energy throughput, saves ...

Infrared and laser optics to OEM, Distributors and End-Users. We offer a wide variety of IR optical elements (mirrors, lenses,windows, prisms and domes); and a full range of CO2 optics for high ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd. has pioneered a pitch-polishing technique, that produces consistently low surface microroughness on off-axis parabolic mirrors used as key focusing elements for high power ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd. has received a follow-on order from the Scottish Centre for the Application of Plasma-based ...
