Product description

The AOMO 3200-129 provides controlled modulation for violet and blue-violet laser systems where responsive optical switching and stable beam control are important. Its tellurium dioxide acousto-optic material supports efficient beam interaction, helping deliver reliable performance in compact scientific and analytical photonics platforms.

This modulator is well suited to systems using tightly controlled violet laser beams, including fluorescence excitation, microscopy, analytical instrumentation, scientific research and specialist laboratory photonics. Anti-reflection coated optics, high contrast switching and efficient beam separation support clean integration where optical stability, alignment and repeatable laser control are key requirements.

  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart showing percent transmission (%T) plotted against wavelength from 370 to 470 nanometres. The single curve forms a broad U-shape, starting near 1.0% at the shorter wavelengths, falling to a minimum of just above 0.2% around 413 nanometres, and then rising again toward 1.0% at the longer wavelengths, indicating the coating’s best performance near 413 nm.
