The term “optical components” refers to a range of parts and products used to build optical systems. These components include precision optical components such as spherical, aspheric and cylindrical lenses, mirrors, prisms, filters, and mechanical mounts that help guide or focus the beam. Designing and manufacturing optical components is a complex task. Our factory …
Diode lasers, also known as semiconductor lasers, operate by passing an electric current through a semiconductor material. This process generates light, which is then amplified to produce a coherent laser beam. The specific wavelength of the laser depends on the band gap of the semiconductor material used. In diode lasers, electrons and holes (positive …
What is an optical coating? An optical coating, also known as an optical film or thin film coating, refers to a thin layer of material that is applied to an optical surface, such as a lens or mirror. Optical coatings are designed to modify the transmission, reflection, or absorption properties of the surface they …

Optical bandpass filters are specialized components in the field of photonics, designed to transmit light within a specific wavelength range while blocking light outside this range. These filters are pivotal in applications where precise wavelength selection is critical, such as in spectroscopy, laser line separation, or fluorescence microscopy. At their core, optical bandpass filters …
This section aims to provide a foundational understanding of plate beamsplitters. By exploring their fundamental aspects, types, operational principles, material composition, and how they compare with cube beamsplitters, we establish a comprehensive baseline knowledge necessary for professionals in the field. Plate beamsplitter is an optical device that divides an incident beam of light …
Optical coating is one of the most important specification for optical components, they are used to enhance the transmission, reflection, or polarization properties of an optical component. The general coating include Anti-reflective coating (AR coating), High reflective coating (HR coating), Partial reflective coating(PF coating), Polariztion Beamsplitter coating, Non-polariztion beamsplitter coating. MOK Optics has strong capability …
Metalllic mirror coating is appied to the situation where a consistent high reflection on a wide spectral range is needed. Their reflecatance is lower than dielectric high reflection coating. But their spectrum can cover near-UV, visible and near-IR. Dielectric coating is typically applied on the layer of metallic coating to prevent metallic coating from oxidization. …
