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.

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

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.

The product offering includes low insertion loss and highly efficient acousto-optic Q-switches capable of handling very high peak power. Particular attention is used to match the cavity length, repetition rate, wavelength, beam diameter, polarization state and output power of a laser to the best acousto-optic Q-switch solution.G&H offers off-the-shelf solutions for polarized or unpolarized lasers at near infrared wavelengths. G&H can accommodate large lamp pumped multimode laser beam diameters (up to 8 mm) as well as small compact diode pumped beam diameters (< 1 mm) with both water and conduction cooling.

Wavelength 351-4500 nm; Active Aperture 2-12 mm; Bandwidth 0.3-12 nm; Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) are used to rapidly and dynamically select a specific wavelength from a broadband or multi-line laser source. As the applied RF frequency is varied, the transmitted wavelength changes, “tuning” the wavelength of the beam or image in tens of microseconds or less. An extensive line of AO tunable filters is available for wavelength from the UV through mid-IR, with resolution bandwidths of less than 1nm, with options such as large-aperture imaging filtering and sideband suppression. Fiber-coupled acousto-optic tunable filters devices are available upon request.AOTFs with apertures less than 6 mm are typically used that have less than tens of nm of resolution bandwidth at NIR wavelengths and less than ten nm at visible wavelengths. A quasi-collinear AOTF can deliver < 1 nm resolution bandwidth if operated with highly collimated light. AOTFs with larger apertures (> 6 mm) are a powerful tool for spectral imaging, rapidly and efficiently scanning an entire image in wavelength. This is of use in high-speed applications like hyperspectral imaging, confocal microscopy and on-line process control. The cost of AOTFs increases significantly for very large apertures, but they deliver unmatched speed for time-sensitive multispectral measurements in industry and biotech, approaching real-time video rate spectral imaging.  Gooch & Housego’s acousto-optic tunable filters are manufactured using high quality TeO2 crystals grown in-house, polished and fabricated to rigorous standards, with wavelengths from 350 nm to 4.4 µm in a wide variety of apertures and resolution bandwidths. It is possible to filter images up to 25 mm across, meet exceptionally low driver power requirements or design an AOTF to select and transmit multiple discrete wavelengths.Acousto-optic tunable filters often exhibit light leakage outside the resolution bandwidth of interest, typically at 10-20 dB below peak power. This is due to the response function of the AOTF itself but can be minimized using G&H’s patented techniques. Sideband suppression is available in several models, reducing out of band side lobes by greater than 20 dB relative to the primary beam. The AOTF product family includes application-specific solutions for illumination or excitation wavelength selection, as well as multispectral or hyperspectral imaging. For best performance, we recommend a matched RF driver, including the latest digital frequency synthesizer (DFS) driver technology and random access wavelength control.

Input Aperture 15, 20 mm; Digital Control via SL2-100, RL3-100, or XY2-100 Protocol Raylase’s AXIALSCAN series of prefocusing deflection units offer very small spot diameters at large field sizes or processing areas, flexibility, high deflection speed, long-term stability and low drift values. AXIALSCAN-20/-30 deflection units feature high power density in the spot, enabling new application and reduced system costs. Deflection units are designed for field sizes from 100 mm x 100 mm up to 1,800 mm x 1,800 mm. These units are available with options like motorized adjustment of the operating field steered by the stepper motor interface, high-power version with optimized Nd: YAG and CO₂ optics for up to 4 kW, as well as a high-speed version with double motor-driven Z-axis and extremely light and stiff high-performance mirrors. The AXIALSCAN-30 DIGITAL II deflection units with the LT-II-15 digital linear translator module ensure exceptionally low drift values at 20 Bit position resolution. Heat development is greatly reduced thanks to the PWM output stages used. Thanks to optimized lenses for CO₂ wavelength and 1060 to 1070 nm, the AXIALSCAN-30 DIGITAL II HP deflection units can handle laser power up to 4 kW. The pre-focusing deflection units of the AXIALSCAN-50 DIGITAL II series feature cutting-edge digital control electronics. Various tuning options are available, enabling application-specific adjustment of control parameters and, in combination with the SC mirrors, produce exceptional deflection speeds and dynamic values. The AXIALSCAN-50 DIGITAL II can be equipped with a range of tuning options (VC, LS and M). Default tunings are configurable. The AXIALSCAN-FIBER 20/30 deflection systems can be easily integrated into any laser system by means of various mechanical interfaces below, to the side (robot flange is possible) and from above. The integrated fiber collimator enables connection of the laser fiber without beam path alignment. A second external protective window can be quickly and easily replaced, with optional monitoring available. Camera and welding monitoring systems can be adapted to the process light output without aberrations. The AXIALSCAN FIBER-30 is completely dust-proof and therefore ideal for use in a harsh industrial environment. Suitable mirrors are available both for high-performance welding applications with laser power in the multi-kilowatt range and for highly dynamic applications. Optical configurations are available for all standard beam parameters of lasers and their fibers. The AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 deflection systems ensure that the laser process is highly dynamic and precise, even when the workpiece is passing under the deflection unit at varying speed. The pre-focussing deflection unit can, among other things, separate the contours of electrical connection surfaces (tabs) on batteries with precision during the foil winding process. This benefit is possible thanks to the pulsed laser beam – highly dynamic with position accuracy – that is directed from the AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 deflection unit onto the workpiece. It works with the smallest spot size on processing field sizes of between 300 x 300 mm and 850 x 850 mm. Depending on the model, the AXIALSCAN deflection units are compatible to the XY2-100 (16 Bit) protocol, the SL2-100 (20 Bit) protocol, or the RL3-100 (20 Bit) standards. They can be digitally controlled by a control card, such as the SP-ICE-1 PCIe PRO or SP-ICE-3. Lenses, protective glass, scan mirrors, deflection mirrors and objectives with optimized mounts are available for all typical laser beam source types.

Beamsplitters are optical components splitting an incident light beam into two parts. Beam splitters take on many forms: cubes, plates, hexagons, pentagons, polarizing, non-polarizing (usually somewhere in between), narrowband, broadband, dielectric, air-spaced, metal, cemented, optically contacted (epoxy-free bonding), a.s.o. If you are looking for a customized beamsplitter that exactly meets your specific performance and cost requirements, please get in touch with the AMS Technologies beamsplitter experts. Our supplier LightMachinery is extremely experienced with specifying, designing and manufacturing custom beamsplitters using the company’s patented fluid jet polishing (FJP) technology that allows the adjustment of the beamsplitter’s shape and flatness to within a few nanometers. We are looking forward to discussing your customized beamsplitter solution! Together with our supplier LightMachinery, it is our job at AMS Technologies to help you sort out the specifications of your customized beamsplitter. Some of the key parameters to think about are wavelength range, polarization and physical size requirements. For instance, P polarization is much more inclined to transmit at large angles (in the 45° range). The challenge for coating designers is to adjust the transmission of the two polarizations to meet the specific requirements of your custom beamsplitter. Also, if the beamsplitter will be used inside an interferometer, you may need to consider path length and phase matching requirements. It is always good if you can explain how you will be using your beamsplitter, it can really help us to define out your requirements. Due to multiple requests for a very accurate beamsplitter, AMS Technologies is offering two standard LightMachinery precision cube beam splitters with angles good down to 1 arcmin and surfaces flat to λ/10. While the OP-5119 beamsplitter is suitable for the 400 to 900 nm wavelength range in the visible (VIS) spectrum, the OP-5120 beamsplitter is optimized for infrared (IR) wavelengths from 800 to 1750 nm. However, do not hesitate to contact AMS Technologies to discuss and specify your custom beamsplitter in detail!

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.

The use of lasers as the illumination source for fluorescence applications requires special consideration for the optical path. This special attention centers on the coherent nature of the light, the small beam diameter, the polarization, and the power. There are also circumstances where cone angle and scatter within the system play significantly into the design of the optics. Chroma Technology specializes in the design and manufacture of optical filters and coatings for applications that require extreme precision in color separation, optical quality, and signal purity. Chroma Technology’s portfolio comprises single bandpass and single edge filters, multi bandpass and multi band dichroic beamsplitters, complete filter sets for single band, longpass, shortpass and multi band as well as filter accessories. Laser optics must be designed and made differently from standard widefield filters and mirrors. While it is true that most laser optics will work fine in widefield applications, the inverse is clearly not true, as shown by the different specifications in each case. The differences in design and construction may not be apparent to the end-user in every laser application. However, these differences will be painfully obvious in most experiments if these specifications are not met, especially with more demanding applications such as TIRF, Raman, and multi-photon microscopy. While the entire beam path should be considered carefully, the downloadable “application note filters and mirrors for laser applications” emphasizes the filters and dichroic mirrors used in the beam path. Get in touch with the AMS Technologies optical filter experts today to find out which Chroma Technology optical and mirrors for laser applications can meet the demands and challenges of your project.

Polarization Sensitive & Insensitive Versions; 1040 nm to 1090 nm; Isolation ≥35 dB; Power Handling ≤80 W; 48 mm x 48 mm x 133 mm The FO(P)I-00 series of free space isolators are featuring options to allow the customer to mount their own fiber pigtailed collimator or beam expander. The OZ Optics tilt adjustment technique gives customers the ability to perform the optical alignment themselves.Isolators are optical devices that allow light to be transmitted in one direction only. They block the source from reflected light, thus preventing any feedback problems, such as frequency instability, relaxation oscillations, amplified stimulated emissions, or optical damage – very critical with the recent dramatic increase in laser output powers, especially in the 1030 to 1090nm wavelength range. To meet this demand OZ Optics has developed a line of high power handling isolators, capable of peak isolation levels of 30 dB to 50 dB for 1030 nm to 1090 nm, depending on the input beam size (with typical beam diameters of 0.4mm to 1.1mm). The isolators come with built-in windows to prevent dust contamination of internal isolator optics. These protection windows are easily removed and replaced by the user. Custom smaller packages can be made for OEM applications – contact us for more details. Key Features: Operating Wavelength Range: 60 nm Power Handling: Up to 80 W Isolation: Up to 50 dB Low Insertion & Polarization-dependent Losses Excellent Beam Quality Removable Protective Windows RoHS compliant Applications: Protection of high power lasers from reflections during a) laser marking and engraving; b) laser cutting and etching of metal surfaces with high reflectance such as Al, Cu, Au or Ag; c) micro machining and trimming
