Thorlabs Optical Breadboards

Honeycomb Optical Breadboards

Optical breadboards are a relatively portable platform for building an optical setup on a flat surface. Thorlabs offers three types of honeycomb breadboards. The extensive Nexus damped optical breadboard product line features all-steel construction, excellent thermal stability, and damping optimized for each breadboard size. The 5 mm thick stainless steel top and bottom skins have a precision-machined matte finish, and the mounting holes have a 1/2" (12.5 mm) border at the edges of the breadboard. Our 58 mm thick optical breadboards are intrinsically damped and lightweight and also feature a 5 mm thick stainless steel top skin. The mounting holes have a 1.5" (37.5 mm) border at the edges of the breadboard. Our nonmagnetic aluminum breadboards are available in a lightweight 25 mm thick version as well as a stiffer 55 mm thick version. The mounting holes have a 1” (25 mm) border at the edges of the breadboards.

Thorlabs Optomechanics

Thorlabs offers an extensive line of optomechanical components to meet various experimental needs, including fixed, kinematic, and rotation mounts; translation mounts and stages; and cage and lens tube components. These precision-machined components are designed to be dependable building blocks for any new or expanding research project.

Thorlabs OCT Imaging

Thorlabs provides solutions for the field of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging on the system, subsystem, and component level. Our drive for innovation is shaping our entire rapidly expanding product line. Complete SD-OCT systems are available that are out-of-the-box ready for biological, industrial, and research applications. In addition to our standard OCT systems, Thorlabs offers Doppler OCT extensions for specialized applications. For customers building or modifying their own system, a line of components that have been tested for use in OCT applications is available. In addition to the growing portfolio of standard OCT systems that we offer, Thorlabs is dedicated to providing OCT solutions to meet specific applications. Please contact us to discuss how our OCT technologies can be applied to meet your unique requirements.   

Thorlabs Laser Protective Eyewear

The Thorlabs LG series of laser safety glasses provide CE certified laser radiation protection. The comfortable frame style can be used over the top of prescription lenses and has top and side shields to protect the user's eyes from peripheral laser radiation. The interior dimensions of the LG series of laser goggles are 145 mm x 53 mm and have a 140 mm temple. The lenses have a diagonal length of 68 mm. Each pair of laser safety glasses comes with a protective storage case, a slip on neck strap, and a cleaning cloth.

Thorlabs Rigid Optical Table Supports

These rigid table supports are the ideal way to support an optical tabletop or breadboard in applications that do not require vibration isolation. Thorlabs rigid supports are height adustable, offer maximum load capacity up to 2500kgs, and are available in sets of 4 or more.
