Product description
The G&H AODF 4140 Quartz 532nm Apodized Visible Acousto-Optic Deflector is designed for beam steering and optical scanning applications at 532nm. It uses crystal quartz as the acousto-optic medium and operates in a longitudinal acoustic mode.
The device features a 2 element phased array, apodized configuration, supporting controlled acousto-optic deflection in visible green laser systems. Both input and output polarization are specified at 90° to the mounting plane, supporting predictable optical integration.
With a 4 x 10 mm active aperture, 85 MHz RF bandwidth and water-cooled construction with Te-Cu water channels, the AODF 4140 is suitable for OEM laser systems, optical instrumentation and specialist photonics platforms requiring stable visible wavelength beam control.
