Product description

The AOMO 3110 provides controlled modulation for 355 nm UV laser systems where beam stability, optical efficiency and repeatable switching performance are important. Its crystalline quartz optical material provides a robust platform for UV acousto-optic modulation, while the larger aperture supports systems that require bigger beam handling.

Designed for demanding UV laser platforms, this modulator helps manage beam delivery, optical power and timing in applications such as micromachining, semiconductor processing, precision manufacturing, scientific research and analytical instrumentation. Its water-cooled design, anti-reflection coated optics and high contrast switching support reliable performance where thermal stability and clean beam control are critical.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (for guidance only)

    Example AR coating curve chart showing percent transmission (%T) plotted against wavelength from 250 to 450 nanometres, with two coating response lines shown in blue and red. Both curves drop sharply near 300 nanometres, reach their lowest point around 340 to 350 nanometres at approximately 0.2% transmission, and then rise steadily again toward longer wavelengths. Red guide lines mark reference points at 1.00% transmission and 300.00 nanometres.
