AOM & Shutter

AOM (Acousto-optic Modulator) and Shutter AOM (Acousto-optic Modulator) It belongs to the high-speed acousto-optic pulse modulator which realizes the intensity modulation over the laser according to the inputted pulse signal and gets corresponding digitally coded optical signal by inputting the digital signal of different codes and frequencies (TTL/ Analog) into the driving power supply of modulator. It is mainly used in such fields as laser text-image processing and laser digital communication . This product has such characteristics as quick modulation rate, small volume, high efficiency, hig

Technical FAQ

Configuration questions for AOM & Shutter

How should the AOM & Shutter be included in an optical power budget?

Wavelength: 450-700nm · Extinction ratio: Ø 1000:1. Check the Laser components and accessories passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.

Does the AOM & Shutter require a controller?

Controller drive voltage: 24VDC · Drive Voltage: 5VDC/ 12VDC. Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
