Product description

The 5080-2910 AOQS Acousto-Optic Q-Switch is engineered for laser systems requiring compact and reliable Q-switching at 1064 nm. Manufactured using crystalline quartz, it supports stable optical performance, low insertion loss and controlled pulse generation in precision laser applications.

The device operates at an 80 MHz centre frequency with 2 MHz RF bandwidth at -9 dB return loss and 50 ohms nominal input impedance. Its compact 1 mm active aperture, 30 mm optical path and right-angle SMA configuration support efficient integration into space-constrained laser system designs.

With conduction cooling through the base, optical window parallelism of less than 1 arc minute and RoHS compliant materials, the 5080-2910 AOQS is suited to OEM laser integration where compact packaging, stable beam control and dependable optical performance are required.
