Product description

The AOMO 3200-1214 provides controlled frequency shifting for visible laser systems where predictable beam displacement, reliable diffraction efficiency and stable optical performance are required. Its TeO₂ acousto-optic medium supports efficient visible beam interaction, making it well suited to compact photonics assemblies that require repeatable frequency control.

This frequency shifter is designed for visible laser applications where beam separation, optical alignment and modulation stability are key design considerations. Its compact aperture, anti-reflection coated optics, high contrast switching and defined performance across multiple visible wavelengths support use in optical test platforms, interferometry, laser Doppler systems, laboratory photonics and OEM instrumentation.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart titled “440–850 nm BBAR on <110> TeO2,” showing reflection percentage plotted against wavelength from 400 to 850 nanometres. The single curve starts at about 4.5% reflectance near 400 nm, drops steeply below 1% by around 450 nm, remains low across most of the broadband range, reaches a shallow minimum around 710 to 730 nm at roughly 0.25%, and then rises gradually again toward about 0.9% at 850 nm, illustrating broadband antireflection performance over a wide visible to near-infrared range.
