Leading manufacturer of innovative photonic components, TeraXion, has released a fiber-coupled acousto-optic modulator (AOM), for pulse picking applications designed for ultrashort pulses involving a high peak power.

TeraXion’s acousto-optic modulator is a key component for ultrafast laser designers looking for a robust pulse picker to meet the requirements of industrial and imaging applications.

This new, fiber-coupled low-rise time (10 ns) AOM controls the amount of energy per pulse by varying the amount of pulses per second that go through the amplifiers. In chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) or directly amplified lasers, a variation of the pulse energy enables the fulfilment of requirements of diverse industrial and medical applications. Every detail of the AOM’s design makes it a reliable asset within the ultrafast laser architecture. TeraXion’s telecom grade qualification ensures efficient, clean and reliable pulse picking.
