Acousto-Optic Modulators

Amplitude and/or fast on-off modulation of CW and pulsed laser beams.

Supplier: Isomet

Technology type: Acousto-Optics

Isomet's acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) are specially designed for use in laser beam modulation. Applications range from simple on-off switching to intensity modulation and pulse picking of femtosecond lasers.

In-house production facilities such as crystal growing, optical polishing, anti-reflective coatings, vacuum-bonding, and electronics development are the basis for the production of mature and reliable AOMs - naturally also according to special customer requirements. Corresponding RF drivers are also available.

Wavelength range: 230nm to 10,600nm
Optical materials: PbMoO4, TeO2, Ge, SiO2, SF glasses, and quartz
Rise times: from approx. 7 to 2000ns
Centre frequencies: ca. 40 - 350MHz

High diffraction efficiency
Active apertures: ca. Ø 0.2mm up to ca. 12 x 30mm²
Special designs according to customer requirements available
Suitable RF drivers (analogue and/or digital), synthesisers, power amplifiers and control electronics
