Optical Engineer Andrew Fisher explains how you can see the "invisible" light, or infrared light, from your own TV remote.

Using an Infrared Application? Discover the importance of choosing the right material and comparisons of each at Edmund Optics.

Meniscus lenses offer superior performance compared to plano convex lenses in IR applications. Find out the benefits of using a meniscus lens at Edmund Optics.

Short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging applications require specialized imaging optics, as lenses designed for visible use are not optimized for SWIR wavelengths

A new generation of compact, cost-effective ultraviolet (UV) lasers is allowing more applications to benefit from the increased precision of UV wavelengths.

SWIR, or short-wave infrared, is light invisible to the human eye but detectable by specialized infrared imaging lenses and cameras.

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