Edmund Optics^®

Discover the different types of testing targets and their ideal applications, advantages, limitations, equations, and examples at Edmund Optics.

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are used to test the transmitted wavefront error of laser beam expanders, predicting the real-world performance of the beam expander.

Laser Induced Damage Threshold describes the maximum quantity of laser radiation an optic can take before damaging. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

Join our discussion around laser damage testing in the third episode of our LIGHT TALKS series.

Testing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is not standardized, so understanding how your optics were tested is critical for predicting performance.

Edmund Optics is a global stock and custom optics manufacturing company with in house optical designers and on-site metrology and environmental testing.
