Product description
The AOMO 3080-1980 provides controlled modulation for compact Mid-IR laser systems where precise beam gating, optical switching and intensity control are required. Its tellurium dioxide acousto-optic material supports efficient infrared beam interaction, helping deliver reliable performance in space-conscious photonics assemblies.
This modulator is well suited to Mid-IR optical layouts where compact beam handling, low reflectivity and clean beam separation are important for integration. Random polarisation support, low insertion loss and high contrast switching help support stable beam control in laboratory photonics, optical test platforms, sensing systems and specialist infrared instrumentation.
