Product description
The AOMO 3080-122 provides controlled modulation for red and near-infrared laser systems where reliable beam gating, optical switching and intensity control are required. Its tellurium dioxide acousto-optic material supports efficient beam interaction, helping deliver stable performance in compact photonics platforms.
This modulator is well suited to systems where engineers need to balance switching response, modulation bandwidth and diffraction efficiency through beam-size selection. Low insertion loss, low reflectivity, high contrast switching and wavelength-matched coating performance help support clean beam control in optical test platforms, laboratory photonics, imaging, sensing and scientific laser systems.
