Product description

The AOMO 3110-1997 provides controlled modulation for green laser systems where larger beam diameter, optical stability and low-loss performance are important. Its crystalline quartz acousto-optic material supports reliable green laser modulation, while the larger square aperture helps accommodate broader beam paths in precision optical systems.

Designed for demanding green laser platforms, this modulator helps manage beam delivery, optical power and timing in scientific laser systems, optical test equipment, analytical instrumentation, laboratory photonics and OEM laser platforms. Its water-channel construction, low optical loss and high contrast switching make it well suited to applications where thermal management, beam clearance and clean optical switching are key requirements.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart showing percent transmission (%T) plotted against wavelength from 485 to 625 nanometres. The single curve forms a steep U-shape, starting near 1.0% at the shortest wavelengths, dropping to a minimum close to 0.02% around 545 nanometres, and then rising again toward 1.0% by 625 nanometres, indicating optimum antireflection performance near 545 nm.
