Product Overview
1550nm Fiber-Coupled Acousto Optic Modulator (AOM) Overview
These high speed fiber-coupled acousto optic modulators (AOM’s) are designed for fast amplitude modulation of laser light operating in the wavelength range of 1470nm to 1630nm. These AOMs are used in Q-switched fiber laser and pulse picking applications, narrow line width laser measurements, and many other applications related to precision fiber-coupled systems operating in the nanosecond range.
Low Insertion Loss | High Input Power
These AOMs offer low insertion loss, high input power capability and a high extinction ratio. The low loss Bragg cell material is chosen for its ability to support the high-Q acoustic refractive index grating that is fundamental to the operation of the AOM.
Matched RF Driver for Optimal AOM Performance
The AOM operates at a set frequency of 200 MHz. This is determined by the physical configuration of the Bragg cell. In order to drive an AOM, a high power RF signal is needed at the AOM operating frequency. The RF driver power is typically up to a few watts (refer to data sheet). An RF Driver/Amplifier is required to amplify the low level output from a signal generator to the power level needed to drive the acousto optic modulator. The AeroDIODE RF generators integrate seamlessly with the AOM’s and provide a one stop solution for high-speed laser modulation. Three different matched RF drivers are available for driving the 1550nm AOM, one designed for analog input signals and another RF driver for TTL input signals. A high speed driver is also available for combined TTL / Analog input signals. Links to these products are available below in the “You May Also Like” section.
