The production of optical assemblies requires an advanced knowledge of manufacturing tolerances
and optomechanics. Leveraging in-house design, assembly, and testing, Edmund Optics®
manufactures more than 170,000 optical assemblies every year. In-house metrology, including
both environmental and laser damage testing labs, allow for product specifi cations to be rigorously
verifi ed. Whether you require a laser beam expander, a microscope objective, or an advanced
imaging assembly, Edmund Optics® has the capabilities and expertise to deliver a solution tailored
for your needs.
Edmund Optics® of ers a variety of of -the-shelf optical assemblies, including laser beam expanders
with transmissive or refl ective designs for UV, visible, NIR, broadband, or ultrafast laser applications,
refl ective objectives with industry leading working distances, and beam shaping optics
for transforming Gaussian beams to have a fl at top or Airy disk profi le. Optical assemblies enable
faster prototyping due to their complete optomechanical designs and are often a less expensive
alternative to using multiple components when designing optical systems. Our optical assemblies
are used in applications that range from benchtop prototyping to integration into OEM systems in
the defense, imaging, and laser manufacturing industries.
