Product description
The AOMO 3041 GE 5.5µm 11.6MM provides controlled modulation for LWIR 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 specialist laser platforms operating outside standard near-infrared or visible wavelengths.
This modulator is designed for applications that require stable optical throughput, low-reflection beam transmission and robust thermal management. Its compressional acoustic mode, large active aperture and water-cooled construction support use in Mid-IR spectroscopy, infrared sensing, scientific laser systems, optical test platforms and OEM instrumentation.
