Product description

The AOMO 3150 provides controlled modulation for visible laser systems where stable beam switching and reliable intensity control are required. Its tellurium dioxide acousto-optic material supports efficient interaction with visible laser beams, while its square aperture helps provide balanced beam handling in compact optical layouts.

Designed for precision visible laser applications, this modulator helps manage beam delivery, optical power and timing in scientific research, analytical instrumentation, microscopy, imaging, optical test and measurement and specialist photonics platforms. Its low optical loss and high contrast switching make it well suited to systems where clean beam control and signal stability are important.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    Chart titled “Visible Broadband AR Coating Calculated Reflectance vs. Wavelength,” showing reflectance per surface plotted against wavelength from 375 to 875 nanometres. The curve drops sharply from about 1.3% at 375 nm to a low point near 0.2% around 420 nm, rises to about 0.5% near 500 nm, dips slightly again around 640–660 nm, and then increases steadily toward about 1.9% at 875 nm, illustrating broadband antireflection performance across the visible range.
