Laser Line Non-Polarizing Plate Beamsplitters

Optical coatings are used to influence the transmission, reflection, or polarization properties of an optical component.

Is polarization a new topic for you? Learn about key terminology, types, and more information to help you understand polarization at Edmund Optics.

Optical components that create two beams by splitting incident light are beamsplitters. Read more about the different types of beamsplitters at Edmund Optics.

Beamsplitters do exactly what their name implies: split incident light beams.

Continuing from where Part I: X-Y Setup ends, learn how to add a Z-axis to an existing X-Y configuration to achieve three degrees of freedom.

Edmund Optics offers both fixed power and zoom beam expanders. Knowing which beam expander is right for your application can greatly improve system efficiency.

Polymer polarizers and retarders, consisting of sheets of polyvinyl alcohol and TAC cellulose triacetate, alter the polarization of light.

Edmund Optics' Polarizer Selection Guide refines your search for a specific type of polarizer.

Waveplates (retarders) are different when used in polarized light than unpolarized light. Consider terminology, fabrication, or applications at Edmund Optics.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Optical Engineer Katie Schwertz explains how 3D movies work because of polarization in a kid-friendly way.

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.
