Product description

The AOMO 3200-1999 provides controlled modulation for deep-UV laser systems where optical efficiency, stable switching and repeatable beam control are important. Its crystalline quartz optical material provides a robust platform for UV acousto-optic modulation, while the larger square aperture supports systems using bigger focused beam diameters.

Designed for demanding UV laser applications, this modulator helps manage beam delivery, optical power and timing in micromachining, semiconductor processing, spectroscopy, life science instrumentation, analytical systems and scientific laser platforms. Its low optical loss, anti-reflection coated optics and high contrast switching support clean beam control and efficient UV laser performance.
