The Uses & Applications of Wave plates and Beam Splitters
Wave plates Optical wave plates, often referred to as retarders, are devices that transmit light while altering its polarisation state without weakening, diverging, or shifting the beam. They accomplish this by delaying (or retarding) one polarisation component in relation to its orthogonal component. Their primary function is to control the polarisation condition of light beams.Continue reading “The Uses & Applications of Wave plates and Beam Splitters“
What Are The Few Benefits Of A Laser Mirror?
Before delving into the details of the benefits of a laser mirror, it is essential to know what is a laser mirror. A laser mirror is a high-definition reflected-coated mirror used for reflection. These laser mirrors are designed for a single line or multiple lines, even a broadband type of source. These mirrors are rugged,Continue reading “What Are The Few Benefits Of A Laser Mirror?”
Is UV Window Film Safe For Your House?
Technologies have made human life effortless. It is now possible to do almost anything with the blink of an eye. However, as much as we have advanced in technology, a lot of destruction has been done to nature. The hole in the ozone layer is perhaps the most prominent example. Prolonged exposure under the sunContinue reading “Is UV Window Film Safe For Your House?”
The Uses of Hot Mirror, Cold Mirror & Laser Mirror
A hot mirror is a specialized dielectric mirror often used for safeguarding optical systems by reflecting infrared light back into a light source and enabling visible light to pass through it. It reflects 90% of near infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) light while transmitting up to 80% of the visible light. Such mirrors are usedContinue reading “The Uses of Hot Mirror, Cold Mirror & Laser Mirror”
Significance & Uses of UV Windows & IR Windows
Optical windows are made from two flat, or commonly referred to as plano and polished surfaces. UV Windows and IR Windows used for achieving optimal performance in the Ultraviolet or Infrared spectrums. Most reputed manufacturers dealing in optical windows provide custom UV and IR optical windows made of different optical materials: CaF2, BaF2, Germanium, Silicon,Continue reading “Significance & Uses of UV Windows & IR Windows”
Features & Industrial Applications of Different Optical Lenses
Optical components are widely used in modern indus tries for various purposes. These components primarily can be divided into two categories: transmissive and reflective. Transmissive components include lenses, filters, windows, optical flats, prisms, polarizers, beam splitters, wave plates, and fiber optics; Reflective components include mirrors and retroreflectors. There are certain substrates and thin film coatingsContinue reading “Features & Industrial Applications of Different Optical Lenses”
Advantages & Significance of Optical Windows
Optical windows are transparent, optically flat substrates allowing light to pass though it and are typically used for separating two different environments. These windows are typically made from transparent medium (e.g. glass, crystal or polymer. Most of the good manufacturers provide optical windows custom sizes, custom tolerances, and a wide range of durable and protectiveContinue reading “Advantages & Significance of Optical Windows”
