In recent years, hand-held spectrophotometers have gained a lot of popularity because they can be deployed in the field. Rather than bringing the object under analysis to the lab and using a bulky...

Optical components such as lenses, mirrors, prisms, and windows undergo tight quality control to deliver optimal optical transfer function. Any scratch, dig, chip pinhole, or other defect will...

Modern computer numerical control (CNC) polishing has revolutionized optical component manufacturing by enabling both more precise and wilder surface shapes to be deterministically manufactured....

Plastic optics refers to optical components or systems that are made from transparent plastic materials, as opposed to traditional optical components made from glass or other materials. Plastic...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an analytical technique that uses a high-powered laser pulse to ablate a small amount of material from a sample, creating a plasma. This plasma emits...

Convex is an adjective used to describe a surface or shape that curves outward, bulges, or has a rounded and outwardly extending appearance. In the context of geometry or optics, a convex shape is...

Concave is an adjective used to describe a surface or shape that curves inward or has a hollow or recessed appearance. In the context of geometry or optics, a concave shape is one that curves or...

Optical coatings modify the reflectance, transmittance, and absorptive properties of optic substrates to make them much more efficient and functional. From an optical manufacturer's perspective,...
