Product description
The G&H AODF 4040 TeO₂ 460–690nm Visible Acousto-Optic Deflector is designed for beam deflection applications across the visible spectral region. It uses TeO₂ as the acousto-optic medium and operates in a shear, off-axis acoustic mode.
The device is specified with vertical linear input polarization and horizontal linear output polarization, supporting defined optical integration in visible wavelength laser systems. Its low RF power requirement at 460nm makes it suitable for compact beam control architectures where efficient acousto-optic deflection is required.
With its 2 x 6 mm active aperture and specified minimum diffraction efficiency, the AODF 4040 supports controlled beam deflection in optical instrumentation, OEM visible laser systems and specialist photonics applications.
