Product description

The AOMO 3041 GE 10.6µm 7MM provides controlled modulation for long-wave infrared laser systems where reliable beam gating, optical switching and intensity control are required. Its Germanium interaction material supports efficient infrared beam interaction, making it well suited to CO₂ laser platforms and specialist infrared photonics applications.

This modulator is designed for systems that need compact beam handling without compromising optical throughput. G&H-manufactured anti-reflection coated optics help reduce surface losses, while compressional acoustic operation and water-cooled construction support stable performance in demanding industrial, scientific and OEM laser environments.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart showing reflection percentage plotted against wavelength in microns, from about 6.6 to 14.6 microns. The single curve forms a narrow U-shape, dropping steeply from around 5% reflection at shorter wavelengths to a minimum just above 0% near 10.6 microns, then rising sharply again toward longer wavelengths, indicating optimum antireflection performance around 10.6 µm.
