Edmund Optics, a global manufacturer of optical components and imaging solutions, has been awarded third place in the "Vision" category of the 2025 Inspect Awards. This award is a result of the strong impression made on voters by the high-resolution and flexible performance of the company's new products, the TECHSPEC HP+ and HPi+ fixed focal length series lenses.

Edmund Optics Japan Co., Ltd. is strengthening its one-stop service system by providing a wide range of off-the-shelf ultrafast optics designed for femtosecond and picosecond laser systems. The lineup includes high-performance IBS-coated mirrors manufactured by UltraFast Innovations (exclusively supplied to Edmund Optics for industrial use), as well as cost-effective options with vapor-deposited coatings. A rich inventory of optical components such as mirrors, lenses, windows, gratings, and filters is available for sale, enabling the construction of a complete system for ultrafast pulse applications.

Edmund Optics offers a comprehensive range of Acktar's Ultra-Black light absorption products, designed for advanced optical systems that require maximum stray light control. Unlike conventional black paints or carbon nanotube coatings, Acktar products are dry and non-particulate, with no outgassing or curing, making them suitable for clean rooms and vacuum environments. Furthermore, they can be easily applied by simply sticking them on, making them suitable for flat surfaces as well as curved or irregularly shaped surfaces and small areas.

Edmund Optics has begun the launch of Omega Optical's transmission gratings designed for peak performance in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) region. Available for immediate sale, this product represents a breakthrough in performance in the deep ultraviolet region and has been awarded the 2025 SPIE Prism Award, recognized for its innovation and impact in optical engineering. It is optimized for wavelengths up to 190nm, where typical optical components struggle to perform in terms of materials and efficiency. This grating, which provides excellent first-order diffraction efficiency below 200nm, enables the utilization of more light in critical applications such as high-resolution spectroscopy, advanced lithography, and precision biomedical instruments. Users can benefit from superior diffraction efficiency, improved system throughput, and the elimination of procurement delays through seamless supply.

Edmund Optics, a leading supplier of optical components, assemblies, and optical solutions, has announced that its manufacturing facilities in Akita, Japan, and Mainz, Germany, are now operating on 100% renewable energy. This transition significantly advances Edmund Optics' commitment to reducing global emissions and promoting sustainable operations. The Akita facility specializes in the manufacturing and coating of precision optical components, focusing on spherical lenses and optical filters, while the Mainz facility specializes in the production of polarizers and the processing of SCHOTT color glass, both playing a crucial role in Edmund Optics' manufacturing system.

Edmund Optics demonstrates its value by offering the TECHSPEC Low GDD Dielectric Coated Laser Mirrors for ultrafast pulse applications, achieving high optical performance at an affordable price. These mirrors, optimized for ultrafast pulse laser applications, exhibit nearly zero group delay dispersion (GDD) and minimize the dispersion of the reflected beam, delivering excellent performance in high-precision systems where maintaining peak intensity is crucial. With over 99% reflectivity and durable dielectric coatings, they minimize energy loss and withstand the typical high peak power of ultrafast lasers.

Edmund Optics has announced the release of a new mini free-space optical isolator that provides highly compact and powerful laser protection. Designed for applications with limited space, weight, and power consumption (SWaP), this isolator is suitable for ultrashort pulse lasers and continuous wave lasers in aerospace, quantum, and research systems. The small isolator, measuring just Φ10mm × 10.5mm, achieves high isolation without compromising transmission, maintaining laser stability by preventing back reflections.

Edmund Optics' Japanese subsidiary, Edmund Optics Japan Co., Ltd., has announced the addition of phantoms for optical coherence tomography (OCT) and diffuse reflectance phantoms to its extensive product portfolio. To facilitate the calibration and optimization of imaging systems in research and clinical applications, standardized tools that researchers and engineers can use immediately will be available for stock sale.

Edmund Optics Japan, a Japanese subsidiary of the U.S. company Edmund Optics, a global manufacturer and supplier of optical components and assemblies, announced the acquisition of son-x, a high-tech company established in 2011 in Aachen, Germany, as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute, specializing in ultrasonic assist systems and high-precision optical component manufacturing. This strategic acquisition will enhance Edmund Optics' diamond cutting capabilities and strengthen its position as a trusted partner providing innovative solutions to customers worldwide.
