Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms. Search by Specification | Learn More

Optical diffusers scatter incident light, thereby reducing the sensitivity of a detection system to slight positional or angle changes in an incoming beam. Search by Specification | Learn More

Optical mirrors have a smooth, highly-polished, plane or curved surface for reflecting light. Usually, the reflecting surface is a thin coating of silver, or aluminum on glass. Search by Specification | Learn More

...end to the other. Log periodic antennas are often used in broadband applications. Yagi-Uda arrays consist of three or more half-wave elements (one driven, one reflector, and one or more directors). Yagi antennas or Yagi-Uda arrays offer very high... Search by Specification | Learn More

...the asymmetric, elliptical beams produced by laser diodes so that the beams are nearly circular in shape. Corner cube retroreflector prisms are designed to reflect all of the beams that enter an optical prism back onto the prism. Right-angle prisms direct beams... Search by Specification | Learn More

Etalons are two flat, glass plates separated by a parallel spacer, with the inner surfaces of the plates coated with a partially reflecting layer. Microoptics are very small optical components. Mirrors are smooth and highly-polished in order to reflect... Search by Specification | Learn More

The lighted or heated length is the length of the emitting section of the lamp. The diameter and weight are also important to consider. Common features for heat lamps include twin tubes, reflectors, and water-cooling. A twin tube heat lamp has two tubes... Search by Specification | Learn More

Telescopes come in three major optical types: refractor telescopes, reflector telescopes, and catadioptric telescopes. In a refracting telescope, light enters through the eyepiece lens and is bent as it passes through the objective lens in the body... Learn More

...types of lamps include projection lamps, spectral lamps, and stage lamps. Projection lamps use a built-in reflector to concentrate light in a particular direction. These types of lamps are used in a variety of applications. Examples include slide... Search by Specification | Learn More

...display filters and films use semi-silvered mirrors to permit the passage of specific planes of light. They remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass and water without reflecting the overall color balance. There are two... Search by Specification | Learn More

Flat mirrors are smooth, highly polished, flat surfaces, for reflecting light. The actual reflecting surface is usually a thin coating of silver or aluminum on glass. Search by Specification | Learn More

Optical lens assemblies are composed of a number of lenses mounted for a particular imaging function. These can include objectives, collimators, gauging lenses, etc. Learn More

Projection lamps use a built-in reflector to concentrate light in a particular direction. They are used in applications such as slide projection, microfilm, overhead projection, movies, medical / scientific instruments, airport runways, and others Search by Specification | Learn More

Industrial dyes are colorants consisting of single molecules that are able to absorb certain parts of the spectrum of visible light and reflect others. Dyes are soluble in the material in which they are dispersed. Learn More
