Driver for Fiber Coupled AOM Acoustic-Optic Modulators
This digital-input RF driver integrates with AeroDiode’s acousto-optic modulators (AOM). This model accepts a low-level TTL signal, and amplifies the signal to drive the acousto-optic modulator at a fixed 100 MHz frequency.
Principle of Operation – RF Driver and AOM
Acousto-optic modulators operate at a set frequency, determined by the physical configuration of the Bragg cell. A high-powered RF signal is required to drive the AOM, typically more power is needed than can be delivered by a small-signal high-frequency RF signal generator; an RF driver is used to amplify the RF signal to the AOM.
Analog and Digital Signal RF Drivers
In addition to the TTL-input RF driver, there is also an analog signal driver that operates at 100 MHz. Links to these products are available below in the You May Also Like section.
AOM – Driver Frequency Matching
The RF driver frequency must be matched to the AOM; when you order an acousto-optic modulator and RF driver, we’ll make sure the driver frequency matches the AOM that you’ve chosen for your application.
