Product description
The G&H 4170 Quartz 355nm Acousto-Optic Deflector is a two-element phased array AODF designed for use with UV laser wavelengths. It uses crystal quartz as the AO medium and is configured for longitudinal acoustic mode operation, supporting precise beam deflection in laser scanning and beam positioning applications.
The device is designed for use in systems requiring controlled angular separation and efficient diffraction performance. Its phased array configuration enables beam deflection across the RF bandwidth, while the optical and RF design supports integration into precision UV laser platforms.
This AODF is water cooled and designed for use with a separate RF splitter and delay line. It is suitable for OEM systems where compact, application-specific acousto-optic beam control is required.
