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.
