Acousto-Optic Modulation

Download Whitepaper
Acousto-optic devices are primarily used for controlling laser beams. This includes Modulators, Deflectors, Tuneable Filters, Frequency Shifters and Q-switches. The basic operating principles apply to all AO types. The performance requirements are optimised by selecting the crystal material and orientation, the acoustic mode and the transducer configuration.
