Optics University

Welcome to Optics University by Esco Optics. An ongoing web series that will demystify some of the principles in optics that we follow everyday such as optical terms, formulas, material considerations all with a touch of fun facts. For just nearly 60 years we have been learning how to push fabrication methods in precision optics. Having learned a thing or two that we wanted to create this series to share the insights we have because advancements in technology happening daily we want to be sure the next generation is as excited as we are. 

Episode 1: Refractive Index and why it's important. We also cover this topic and optical dispersion in a previous blogpost. For more on that head over here— Optical Properties - Refractive Index & Dispersion

Episode 2: Informs why World Space Week is something you should know about and highlights how everyday things in our life can relate to outer space.  

Episode 3: Material characteristics, when choosing optical glass its important to know what physical elements to look for. Episode 3 cover, striae, homogeneity, fluorescence and coefficient of thermal expansion.
