Product description

The AOMO 3030 provides controlled laser modulation and beam management for visible and near-infrared optical systems. Its TeO₂ shear-mode acousto-optic material supports efficient beam interaction, helping deliver stable performance where reliable switching, intensity control and beam positioning are important.

Designed for systems that require more than fixed-position modulation, this device supports frequency tuning for diffraction angle control. It is well suited to optical test platforms, laboratory photonics, instrumentation, imaging, sensing and near-infrared laser systems where controlled beam direction and repeatable modulation performance are required.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    Chart titled “Standard Spectra for 680–1300 nm AR Coating,” showing reflection percentage plotted against wavelength for two nearly overlapping coating curves labelled AR3-4679 and AR3-4683. Both curves start at high reflectance near 15% around 500 nm, drop steeply to below 1% by about 700 nm, show a small rise around 850 to 900 nm, then remain low through the central band with a shallow minimum around 1100 to 1200 nm before increasing gradually again toward about 2.5% by 1600 nm.
