Product description
The G&H AODF 4170 532NM Deflector is designed for 532nm beam control applications requiring reliable acousto-optic performance and predictable optical integration. It uses crystalline quartz as the acousto-optic medium and is specified for operation at 532nm.
The device provides a 6 x 6 mm active aperture and is designed for use with polarization at 90° to the mounting plane. Its RF configuration is centred at 170 MHz, with a 20 MHz RF bandwidth specified at -10 dB return loss.
The AODF 4170 532NM Deflector is water cooled and includes anti-reflection coating to MIL-C-48497, with low reflectivity per surface. With high contrast ratio, specified diffraction efficiency and defined beam separation, it is suitable for green laser beam control, optical switching and precision photonics applications.
