Product information "Fiber-Coupled Acousto-Optic Modulators"

Wavelength 450-200 nm; Pigtail Type SM, PM; Rise / Fall Time 6-100 ns; Operating Frequency 40-300 MHz;

Fiber-coupled acousto-optic modulators (FCAOM) offer a robust solution for amplitude modulation of fiber lasers, allowing direct control of the timing, intensity, and temporal shape of the laser output. Gooch & Housego’s (G&H) Fiber-Q® modulators offer high extinction ratio, low insertion loss and excellent stability in both polarization maintaining (PM) and non-PM formats at modulation frequencies up to 80 MHz for visible and infrared wavelengths.

Built for reliability, the Fiber-Q® series of products features a rugged hermetic design in a compact, low-profile package, ideal for ease of integration into all-fiber and OEM systems, including medical laser systems.

Each Fiber-Q® acousto-optic modulator requires an RF driver to generate the RF signal creating the acoustic wave within the embedded AO crystal. Modulation of the beam through the Fiber-Q will depend upon the frequency and intensity of the applied RF signal. Contact our sales team to identify the best RF driver for your specific application, taking into consideration the type of modulation required (digital or analog) as well as any specific pulse shaping needs.

A fiber-coupled acousto-optic modulator (FCAOM) can directly control the temporal characteristics of the active output from a fiber laser, offering a wider variety of pulse shapes. As a byproduct of the acousto-optic effect, light passing through the first order diffraction mode of a fiber-coupled modulator also experiences a frequency shift and beam deflection. This allows the Fiber-Q® products to be used for more than just modulation, resulting in applications outside the laser such as optical heterodyne interferometry.

G&H’s fiber optic acousto-optic modulators are designed for low insertion loss, high extinction ratio and excellent return loss. Typical optical performance for the Fiber-Q® series includes:

  • Insertion loss: as low as 2 dB, depending on model
  • Extinction ratio: 50 dB
  • Return loss: 40 dB
  • Polarization extinction ratio: 20 dB (for polarization-maintaining models)

G&H has developed the first devices for visible wavelengths from 397 nm to 780 nm to meet the needs of sensing and quantum technology applications. The fast switch rate Fiber-Q® devices enable efficient, high speed optical pulse picking at infrared wavelengths for all-fiber laser systems. Most devices are also offered in 3-port configurations.

Acousto-Optic Frequency Shifters
Wavelength 415-1550 nm; Type Visible, IR; Operating Frequency 40-200 MHz; Active Aperture 1.5-6 mm; Optical Material Tellurium Dioxide Transmission through an acousto-optic (AO) device causes the input light to experience a frequency shift equal to the RF drive frequency. The acousto-optic frequency shifters (AOFS) from Gooch & Housego (G&H) are optimized for the needs of applications like interferometry, with the ability to achieve high extinction ratio between modes.The product line includes standard products with frequency shifts of over 300 MHz and integrated low-power AOFS modules in which the RF driver has been built into the housing. Frequency shifters for specific application, including frequency shifts up to 600 MHz, can be customized on request. The frequency shifters are manufactured using high quality tellurium dioxide (TeO2), grown and polished in-house, for lowest insertion loss and excellent power handling. Standard AOFS products are offered for wavelengths in the visible and NIR for use with fundamental and doubled Argon Ion, Nd:YAG, He:Ne, diode, dye, and Ti:Sapphire lasers. With standard frequency shifts of over 300 MHz and custom frequency shifts up to 600 MHz, as well as models for double-pass configurations, the frequency shifters match most research and industrial needs. Frequency shifters are highly efficient acousto-optic devices, requiring very low drive power to achieve the desired frequency shift. G&H’s AOFS designs typically use the slow shear mode, resulting in slow rise time, but requiring minimal power consumption (typically < 100 mW power draw). This allows to often package the driver with the AOFS for a compact and power-efficient solution.

Acousto-Optic Mode Lockers
Type IR; Wavelength 700-1100 nm; Operating Frequency 38-80 MHz; Active Aperture 2-3 mm; Window Type Brewster, AR coated; Optical Material Fused Silica; Acousto-optic mode lockers (AOML) modulate the loss within a laser cavity at its resonant frequency, effectively “locking” the phase of the longitudinal modes to generate very narrow laser pulses of high intensity. Gooch & Housego’s mode lockers for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and Argon Ion lasers can modulate at up to 200 MHz, yielding near-theoretical mode locked laser pulse widths. Antireflection (AR) coated and Brewster angle options are available. Customized one-off mode lockers can be designed for demanding scientific and OEM applications.The acousto-optic mode lockers from Gooch & Housego are manufactured using high quality fused silica, polished and fabricated in-house to ensure high quality and reliability. >99% transmission at 1064 nm is achieved by using a durable in-house antireflection V-coat. Low scatter and tight quality controls ensure that every mode locker is capable of handling high peak laser power over the long term without damage. The standard mode lockers include operating frequencies from 38 MHz to 80 MHz. The more modes are locked together in phase, the shorter the pulse. G&H’s standing wave mode lockers can obtain near theoretical mode locked laser pulse widths, with industry-leading transmission performance. The high-Q mode lockers can be used for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and Argon ion lasers at near infrared wavelengths to achieve picosecond and femtosecond length pulses at repetition rates of up to 200 MHz. The short pulses generated are often used in applications like nonlinear optics, optical data storage, femtosecond micromachining and multiphoton microscopy. High repetition rates are often desired for scientific applications, including those using optical heterodyne detection for spectroscopy, LIDAR or telecommunications. RF driver selection impacts mode locking system performance. Active temperature control of the acoustic resonator can assist in controlling resonant frequency such that resonance at the precise frequency of the driver's oscillator can be maintained.

The AO modulators available from Gooch & Housego (G&H) are optimized for low scatter and high laser damage threshold. Rise time, modulation rate, beam diameter and power handling requirements of the application need to be understood in order to identify the best acousto-optic modulator and RF driver solution.An acousto-optic modulator (AOM) uses sound waves within a crystal to create a diffraction grating. As the power of the applied RF signal is varied, the amount of diffracted light varies proportionally. Modulators can be used like a shutter (cycling light on and off at a set frequency), or as a variable attenuator (controlling the intensity of transmitted light dynamically).Contact our sales team to identify the best RF driver for your specific applicationApplications: Heterodyne Interferometry; Intensity Levelling; Intensity Modulation; Laser Cooling; Laser Doppler Velocimetry; Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV); Laser Linewidth Measurements; LIDAR; Marking; Material Processing; Micromachining; Printing; Via Drilling Series Wavelength Rise / Fall Time Active Aperture Operating Frequency Optical Material Type Downloads I-M0XX-XC11B76-P5-GH105 5.5 µm 120 ns/mm up to 9.6 mm 40.68 - 60 MHz Germanium N/A Datasheet Driver   I-M050-10C11V41-P3-GH75 9.4 µm 120 ns/mm up to 9.6 mm 40/60 MHz Germanium Mid-IR Datasheet Driver   I-M041-XXC11XXX-P5-GH77 10.6 µm, 9.4 µm 120 ns/mm up to 9.6 mm 40.68 MHz Germanium Mid-IR Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3200-1220 257 nm 10 ns 0.25 mm 200 MHz Crystalline Quartz UV Datasheet Driver   I-M110-3C10BB-3-GH27 AOM 300 - 400 nm 113 ns/mm 3 mm 110 MHz Crystalline Quartz UV Datasheet Driver   I-M110-2C10B6-3-GH26 AOM 400 - 540 nm 113 ns/mm 2 mm 110 MHz Crystalline Quartz Visible Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3080-125 415 - 900 nm 25 ns 2 mm 80 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver Driver AOMO 3080-120 440 - 850 nm 34 ns 1 mm 80 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3110-120 440 - 850 nm 18 ns 0.6 mm 110 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3100-125 440 - 850 nm 160 ns 1.5 mm 100 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver Driver AOMO 3110-121 442 - 488 nm 18 ns 0.6 mm 110 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3200-120 442 - 488 nm 13 ns 0.45 mm 200 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3200-121 442 - 488 nm 18 ns 0.32 nm 200 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3200-125 470 - 690 nm 160 ns 1.5 mm 200 MHz Tellurium Dioxide Visible Datasheet Driver Driver AOMO 3200-124 780 - 850 nm 10 ns 0.32 mm 200 MHz Tellurium Dioxide IR Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3080-122 780 - 850 nm 25 ns 1 mm 80 MHz Tellurium Dioxide IR Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3200-1113 870 - 1250 nm 10 ns 0.1 mm 200 MHz Tellurium Dioxide IR Datasheet Driver   I-M041-2.5C10G-4-GH50 AOM 1030 - 1064 nm 113 ns/mm 2.5 mm 40.68 MHz Crystalline Quartz IR Datasheet Driver   I-M080-2C10G-4-AM3 AOM 1030 - 1064 nm 113 ns/mm 2 mm 80 MHz Crystalline Quartz IR Datasheet Driver   AOMO 3110-197 1030 - 1090 nm 18 ns 1.25 mm 110 MHz Tellurium Dioxide IR Datasheet Driver

Type UV, Visible; Wavelength 350-850 nm; Number of Channels 4-24; Rise / Fall Time 7-23 ns; Active Aperture 0.18-0.5 mm; Operating Frequency 125-350 MHz; Acousto-optic multi-channel modulators (AOMC) allow multiple beams to be modulated or deflected independently by integrating an array of transducers with a single acousto-optic crystal. The AO multi-channel modulators manufactured by Gooch & Housego (G&H) feature reliable operation and high performance with minimized crosstalk thanks to proprietary optical and electrical designs to allow concurrent operation of up to 48 channels for modulation, and up to 8 channels for beam deflection. Multi-channel modulators are most often used for high speed applications like micromachining and direct-write lithography, as each beam can be modulated independently. They are also used to increase throughput when writing large media by writing multiple beams at the same time. A typical multi-channel modulator has parallel beams as input, each operated on by a different transducer to modulate its intensity. Available models have 2 to 48 channels for UV through NIR wavelengths, with rise times as short as 7 ns for apertures < 1 mm. Multi-channel RF drivers are available with analog or digital modulation.High laser damage threshold is achieved using low-scatter materials inspected to rigorous quality standards.

Systems with µLens will have near perfect Gaussian and circular beam shapes and corrected laser diode wave front distortions. Laser systems without the micro-optic beam correction have all the advantages of Blue Sky Research’s small, highly integrated packaging while retaining the standard elliptical shape (typical 3:1 aspect ratio) of semiconductor lasers. For the CHROMALASE II series of fiber-coupled diode laser modules the dedicated power supply CLPS is available as an accessory. This device provides up to 2.5 A of current for laser diode and TEC and allows the operation of the CHROMALASE II series from standard power sockets with 100 to 240 VAC.

Acousto-Optic Mode Lockers
Type IR; Wavelength 700-1100 nm; Operating Frequency 38-80 MHz; Active Aperture 2-3 mm; Window Type Brewster, AR coated; Optical Material Fused Silica; Acousto-optic mode lockers (AOML) modulate the loss within a laser cavity at its resonant frequency, effectively “locking” the phase of the longitudinal modes to generate very narrow laser pulses of high intensity. Gooch & Housego’s mode lockers for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and Argon Ion lasers can modulate at up to 200 MHz, yielding near-theoretical mode locked laser pulse widths. Antireflection (AR) coated and Brewster angle options are available. Customized one-off mode lockers can be designed for demanding scientific and OEM applications.The acousto-optic mode lockers from Gooch & Housego are manufactured using high quality fused silica, polished and fabricated in-house to ensure high quality and reliability. >99% transmission at 1064 nm is achieved by using a durable in-house antireflection V-coat. Low scatter and tight quality controls ensure that every mode locker is capable of handling high peak laser power over the long term without damage. The standard mode lockers include operating frequencies from 38 MHz to 80 MHz. The more modes are locked together in phase, the shorter the pulse. G&H’s standing wave mode lockers can obtain near theoretical mode locked laser pulse widths, with industry-leading transmission performance. The high-Q mode lockers can be used for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and Argon ion lasers at near infrared wavelengths to achieve picosecond and femtosecond length pulses at repetition rates of up to 200 MHz. The short pulses generated are often used in applications like nonlinear optics, optical data storage, femtosecond micromachining and multiphoton microscopy. High repetition rates are often desired for scientific applications, including those using optical heterodyne detection for spectroscopy, LIDAR or telecommunications. RF driver selection impacts mode locking system performance. Active temperature control of the acoustic resonator can assist in controlling resonant frequency such that resonance at the precise frequency of the driver's oscillator can be maintained. We can assist choosing the right driver for your application. Contact our sales team to identify the best RF driver for your specific application.Applications: Femtosecond Micromachining; fs/ps Lasers (Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire, Argon Ion); LIDAR; Multiphoton Microscopy; Nonlinear Optics; Optical Data Storage; Optical Heterodyne Detection For Spectroscopy; Telecommunications Series Type Wavelength Operating Frequency Active Aperture Window Type Optical Material Downloads 12041-3-BR-TE AOML IR 700 - 1100 nm 41 MHz 2 mm Brewster Fused Silica Datasheet 12080-3-TE AOML IR 1064 nm 80 MHz 3 mm AR coated Fused Silica Datasheet 12038-3-TE AOML IR 1064 nm 38 MHz 3 mm AR coated Fused Silica Datasheet 12041-3-TE AOML IR 1064 nm 41 MHz 3 mm AR coated Fused Silica Datasheet 12050-3-TE AOML IR 1064 nm 50 MHz 3 mm AR coated Fused Silica Datasheet 12038-3-BR-TE AOML IR 700 - 1100 nm 38 MHz 2 mm Brewster Fused Silica Datasheet 12050-3-BR-TE AOML IR 700 - 1100 nm 50 MHz 2 mm Brewster Fused Silica Datasheet 12080-3-BR-TE AOML IR 700 - 1100 nm 80 MHz 2 mm Brewster Fused Silica Datasheet

RF Drivers
Compatible AO Device Deflector,Special Modulator,Tunable Filter,Fiber-Q,Frequency Shifter,Modulator,Q Switch; Operating Frequency 20-450 MHz; Max RF Power 0.4-125 W; Key Feature Programmable frequency, single channel DDS, multi-channel DDS, Fixed single frequency, 2 channel, fixed/variable pulse width, Fixed dual frequencies, Dual channel Ge AO devices, ultra-compact size An RF driver generates an RF signal that is used to generate the acoustic wave within the crystal of an AO device. The frequency and intensity of the applied RF signal will determine how much an optical beam is modulated, deflected or tuned. G&H offers a wide variety of stable high frequency drivers with analog and digital modulation capability, optimized by application. The variety of models include dual analog/digital operation as well as configurable firmware to accommodate functionality like triggering and temperature control without the need for new hardware. The OEM designs are optimized to each customer’s application, maximizing performance in the required form factor. The family of RF drivers can drive and control acousto-optic modulators, deflectors, cavity dumpers, fiber-coupled modulators, frequency shifters, mode lockers, multi-channel modulators, pulse pickers, q-switches as well as tunable filters. Fixed frequency drivers provide a single output frequency which is matched to the AO device. Offered from 24-440 MHz, fixed frequency drivers may be controlled via analog or TTL input, some with manually adjustable output RF power. These are used most often for modulation applications. Variable and programmable frequency RF drivers allow active control of output frequency. Voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) provide a linearly swept (variable) RF drive frequency and are flexible enough to be used for any AO device. Direct digital synthesizer (DDS) drivers offer programmable frequency. They can create random waveforms from a single, fixed-frequency reference clock and thus are ideal for pulse shaping and special functions. DDS drivers are software driven and can be run from a user-friendly interface (a GUI), or controlled directly via computer driver commands. G&H’s high-performance multi-frequency DDS drivers generate up to 8 channels of RF frequencies simultaneously. Dual Drivers allow simple or complex digital waveforms to be synthesized, converted to analog signals, and amplified to drive the AO device. This gives great flexibility; for example, it allows the driver to provide multiple programmable frequencies or to swap freely between multiple, complex, bespoke waveforms.Applications: Driving and Control of Acousto-Optic Devices Series Compatible AO Device Operating Frequency Max RF Power Operations Mode Key Feature Downloads 64020-200-2ADMDFS-A Deflector, Special Modulator, Tunable Filter 20 - 200 MHz 2.0 W N/A Programmable frequency; single channel DDS Datasheet 64020-250-1ADMDFS-A Deflector, Special Modulator, Tunable Filter 20 - 250 MHz 1.0 W N/A Programmable frequency; single channel DDS Datasheet 97-02925-32 Deflector, Tunable Filter 20 - 160 MHz 0.4 W N/A Programmable frequency; single channel DDS Datasheet 6000 Series Driver Deflector, Tunable Filter 50 - 450 MHz 15-20 W N/A N/A Datasheet 97-03926-12 Deflector, Tunable Filter 20 - 160 MHz 3.2 W N/A Programmable frequency; 8 channel DDS Datasheet 97-02910-xx Fiber-Q 80 - 200 MHz 2.5-3.0 W N/A Fixed single frequency; low power draw Datasheet 3307 series Fiber-Q, Frequency Shifter 80 - 350 MHz 1-4 W N/A Fixed single frequency Datasheet 3910 series Fiber-Q, Frequency Shifter, Modulator 80 - 350 MHz 0.5-8.0 W N/A Fixed single frequency Datasheet A35xxx-S-1/50-p4k7u Fiber-Q, Frequency Shifter, Modulator 40 - 300 MHz 0.5-5.0 W N/A Fixed single frequency; analog & digital modulation Datasheet MHPXXX-YYADM-A1 Fiber-Q, Modulator 24 - 260 MHz 2-20 W N/A Fixed single frequency   MCX0XX-Y.YZC-MINx Frequency Shifter, Modulator 40 - 80 MHz 0.5-2.5 W N/A Fixed single frequency; ultra-compact size   HP041-125ADG-A10 Modulator 40.68 MHZ 125 W N/A Fixed single frequency; Ge AO devices Driver HP040-060-150ADG-A10-2X Modulator 40/60 MHz 2 x75 W N/A Fixed dual frequencies; Dual channel Ge AO devices Driver Compact low power RF AOM and AOQS driver Modulator, Q Switch 24 - 110 MHz 2-24 W N/A Fixed single frequency; compact,low power; fixed/variable pulse width Datasheet MQH0XX-YYDM-ZZZ Modulator, Q Switch 24 - 80 MHz 25-100 W N/A Fixed single frequency; fixed/variable pulse width Driver MQH0XX-YYDM-ZZZ-2S Q Switch 24 - 80 MHz 25-50 W per channel N/A Fixed single frequency; 2 channel; fixed/variable pulse width Driver SD020-200-5UC-4x1 Tunable Filter 20 - 200 MHz 5.0 W N/A Programmable frequency; single or multi-channel DDS
