A/O Modulation Systems for use External to a Laser Cavity

 

AO MODULATOR PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The NEOS Technologies Acousto-Optic modulator systems, companion drivers, and Bragg mount assemblies make up laboratory turnkey systems for performing basic experiments in intensity control, beam deflection, and frequency shifting. These products, also serve both OEM applications and individual users.

NEOS Accessory Stages and Mounts:

 

15000 / 17000 Series:

The 15000 / 17000 series of Acousto-Optic Modulator Systems consists of High Speed AO Modulators and RF Drivers ideal for use in high speed shuttering applications or optical pulse generators. These systems use high efficiency, antireflection coated, TeO2 or GaP crystals. An optionally available, AR coated, input / output coupling optics is mounted in an integral precision alignment assembly, for optimum focusing of an input laser beam and collimation of the deflected output beam. The combination of high RF carrier frequency and optimum lens design results in a large angular separation, of up to 65 mili-radians, between the zero and the first order deflected output beams. This makes it easy to separate the two beams in space and maintain a static contrast ratio of at least 500:1.

23000 Series:

The 23000 series of Acousto-Optic Modulator is made from TeO2 modulator crystals. Because of its high figure of merit, the required drive power is low, usually less than a Watt, and can still accept high power light density in the visible and near-IR range.

24000 Series:

The 24000 series of Acousto-Optic Modulator is made from flint glass. This AO material has a lower figure of merit than TeO2, but its cost is significantly less. This series is use in applications with bandwidths of less than 1 MHz and moderate power, light density. it is an inexpensive alternative to other materials.
