Product description

The AOMO 3200-1210 provides fast, controlled modulation for UV laser systems where small beam handling, clean switching and repeatable intensity control are important. Its crystalline quartz acousto-optic material provides a robust platform for UV modulation, while the compact aperture supports high-speed response in space-conscious optical layouts.

Designed for precision UV and violet laser applications, this modulator helps manage beam delivery, optical timing and laser power in micromachining, semiconductor processing, spectroscopy, analytical instrumentation, scientific research and laboratory photonics. Its wide modulation bandwidth, UV anti-reflection coated optics and high contrast switching support reliable performance in demanding UV laser systems.

  • 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.
