Product description
The G&H AODF 4200-1 TeO₂ 442nm Visible Acousto-Optic Deflector is designed for visible laser beam steering and scanning applications requiring precise acousto-optic beam control. It uses TeO₂ as the acousto-optic medium and operates in a shear, off-axis acoustic mode.
The AODF 4200-1 is specified for 442 nm operation, with input polarization at 0° to the mounting plane and output polarization at 90° to the mounting plane. Its RF configuration is centred at 200 MHz with a 100 MHz RF bandwidth, supporting controlled beam deflection across the operating range.
With its defined active aperture, high diffraction efficiency and wide scan angle, the AODF 4200-1 is suitable for visible laser systems, optical instrumentation and OEM photonics platforms requiring accurate beam steering and repeatable scanning performance.
