Product description
The AOMO 3165-1 provides controlled modulation for near-to-mid infrared laser systems where compact beam handling, stable switching and predictable optical performance are required. Its tellurium dioxide acousto-optic material supports efficient beam interaction, making it well suited to NIR and telecom-wavelength photonics platforms.
This modulator is designed for systems where wavelength-specific beam control and carrier-frequency guidance are important during integration. Low reflectivity, high contrast switching, defined beam separation and flexible polarisation orientation support clean optical layout planning in telecom photonics, optical test platforms, laboratory systems and OEM instrumentation.
