Product description

The AOMO 3080-QTZ provides controlled modulation for near-infrared laser systems where high optical power handling, clean switching and reliable transmission are important. Its crystal quartz interaction material offers a robust alternative to tellurium dioxide devices, supporting demanding laser platforms where durability and low-loss beam control are key priorities.

This modulator is well suited to larger-beam near-infrared optical systems, helping manage beam gating, optical switching and intensity modulation in scientific laser systems, laser processing platforms, optical test equipment and OEM photonics assemblies. Its compressional acoustic mode, conduction-cooled housing, low reflectivity and high optical transmission support stable integration into high-power precision laser designs.
