Watch how LZH uses the Cailabs Canunda Reflective Axicons to improve the efficiency and quality of glass cutting by generating high-power Bessel beams.

Highly reflective (HR) coatings are applied to optical components to minimize losses when reflecting lasers and other light sources.

UV grade fused silica is ideal for UV and visible applications, but IR grade fused silica has better transmission in the IR due to a lack of OH- impurities.

Reflective objectives use mirrors to focus light or form an image. Learn more about the different types and benefits of reflective objectives at Edmund Optics.
