反射防止膜は、透過率を増やす、コントラストを高める、またゴースト像の発生を取り除くことによって、光学素子の効率を大幅に改善させます。

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

This comparison of the performance of aspheric, achromatic, and spherical PCX lenses in different situations reveals the ideal use cases for each type of lens.

非球面レンズのメリットは、球面収差を補正する能力です。球面収差は、光の一点集光やコリメートする際に、球面形状の光学素子を使う時に生じます。ここでは非球面レンズの特徴やその性能のメリットから、その製造方法、タイプ別の利点や選定方法を紹介します。

合成石英は、レンズ、ウインドウ、ミラー、プリズム、ビームスプリッターなどの光学部品の製造を行う光学産業で一般的に用いられる硝種です。合成石英には様々な種類がありますが、最も一般的なのはUVグレードとIRグレードの合成石英です。

What is an aspheric lens? In what applications are aspheric lenses used?

No, advances in subaperture polishing have allowed for the fabrication of aspheres with surface figure error down to λ/20 (0.25µm). However, MRF is still...

The CNC polishing equipment used to fabricate the optics must have a large enough range of motion to properly polish the full asphere, and the weight of the...

CNC polished aspheric lenses offer high numerical apertures while creating diffraction-limited spot sizes and are ideal for high-precision applications.

Deviations in surface form relative to an ideal shape at higher spatial frequencies than Zernike polynomial aberrations but lower frequencies than roughness.

Lightweight, cost-effective aspheric lenses with a lower scratch resistance and thermal stability than molded glass aspheres.

Meta description: Ideal for volume applications, including laser diode collimation, bar code scanners, and optical data storage. Can be molded into diameters as small as 1mm.

撮影監督は、被写界深度の浅いビデオを巧みに撮影して、ビデオの圧縮とストリーミング品質を向上させていますが、そのためには特殊なシネマレンズが必要です。

Join Andrew Fisher, Manufacturing R&D Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses some tips for modifying stock optical components to fit your application's needs.

Aspherized Achromatic Lenses, exclusive to Edmund Optics, are doublet lenses consisting of two cemented optical elements that are matched for their color-correction ability and small RMS spot size.

非球面アクロマートは、ガラス製の光学レンズ素子に感光ポリマーを貼り合わせて作られます。このポリマーは、ダブレットレンズの片面側だけに貼り合わされるため、短時間内で容易にレプリカを作ることができます。また、一般的なマルチエレメント部品が持つ柔軟性を使用者に提供します。

The diffraction pattern caused when light passes through an aperture is called the Airy Disk. Find out how the Airy Disk can impact your image at Edmund Optics.

When doing basic imaging, how do you determine the magnification an optical lens will provide?

Collimated light occurs when light rays travel parallel to each other.

Although a common misconception, individual optical lenses do not always form an image when the object plane is placed a focal length away from the lens.

An understanding of refraction and basic ray optics is a critical foundation for understanding more complicated optical concepts and technologies.
