Product description
The AOMO 3080-1912 provides controlled modulation for compact infrared laser systems where precise beam gating, optical switching and intensity control are required. Its tellurium dioxide acousto-optic material supports efficient beam interaction, helping deliver reliable performance in small-beam photonics assemblies.
This modulator is well suited to telecom-wavelength optical systems where compact aperture size, low reflectivity and clean beam separation are important for integration. Random polarisation support, high contrast switching and low optical loss help support stable beam control in optical test platforms, laboratory photonics, instrumentation and specialist infrared systems.
