18-X Dual-clad Fiber Couplers
Fused; Fiber Type DC (Nufern SM-9/105/125), MM (Nufern 105/125, 250), SM (SMF-28); 1250-1700 nm; Number of Legs 1x2, 2x2; SM IL ≤0.5-≤3.7 dB; Dimensions Ø2.9x50.8 mm
Gooch & Housego’s (G&H) 18-X series of fused dual-clad fiber (FDCF) couplers and optical splitters offers a high coupling efficiency for multi mode (MM) fiber over a broad wavelength range with a low wavelength dependent loss.
Light launched in the single mode core of the input single mode (SM) fiber or dual-clad (DC) fiber will transmit 100% through G&H’s 18-XXXXX-XX-XXXXX series FDCF coupler directly to the inner core of the output DC fiber, while light launched in the inner cladding of the DC fiber will couple to the multi mode (MM) fiber with at least 50% coupling efficiency depending on the core size of the MM fiber as a bigger MM fiber (i.e. 250 µm core) results in a higher coupling transmission percentage (70% or higher) to the MM fiber.
As different DC fibers have different operating wavelength ranges, proper choice of SM fiber is very important for building a high-performance FDCF coupler.
The typical 2x2 FDCF couplers have DC fiber in two opposite leads and MM fiber in the other two arms. The DC input fiber can be optionally replaced with a matching SM fiber and the MM output fiber can be terminated to form a 2x1 FDCF coupler.

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. Applications: Interferometry; Laser Cooling; Laser Doppler Velocimetry; Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV); Optical Heterodyne Detection

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

Acousto-Optic Modulators
Wavelength 5.5 µm-1090 nm; Rise / Fall Time 10-160 ns/mm; Active Aperture 0.1-9.6 mm; Operating Frequency 40-200 MHz; Optical Material Crystalline Quartz, Germanium, Tellurium Dioxide; Type IR, Mid-IR, Visible, UVAcousto-optic modulators (AOM) allow the intensity of light to be controlled and modulated at rates that far exceed mechanical shutters, even up to 70 MHz. 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

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. We draw our own tellurium oxide (TeO2) and source high quality fused silica and crystalline quartz to ensure low insertion loss and excellent optical power handling.Applications: Marking; Material Processing; Micromachining; Printing

Acousto-Optic Tunable Filters
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.

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.Applications: Industrial Lasers; Sensing; Scientific Research; Telecommunication; Quantum Technology; Optical Heterodyne Interferometry; Microscopy; Flow Cytometry

High Reliability Fused Fiber Optic Components
955-1620 nm; Number of Legs 1x2, 2x2; RL >50->55 dB; Optical Power Handling 4 W; Dimensions Ø3.0 x 50-85 mm
Gooch & Housego’s range of high reliability (HI-REL) fused fiber optic components are deployed in environments such as undersea and space where the costs of component replacement are prohibitive, and reliability is of premier concern. Gooch & Housego (G&H) is established as a supplier of these components to major undersea equipment manufacturers. G&H’s HI-REL capability is built upon the foundation of a long-established history of manufacturing very reliable components for land-based (or terrestrial) systems in volume.
Full facilities are available to carry out customer-specific HI-REL qualification programs, which can include accelerated ageing and Weibull analysis. Manufacturing is carried out on specially developed workstations. Advanced fiber management, in-process screening and customer-specific validation tests are implemented to further enhance component reliability.
Failure rates for undersea telecommunication systems and components are often described using a FIT rate (Failures in Time). The fused fiber couplers from our HI REL coupler range offer a very low 0.1 FIT rate, equivalent to one failure in roughly fifty thousand components in 25 years.
The ultra-low loss of G&H fused fiber components helps to promote low noise figure and improved system margin in undersea transmission systems. Components are supplied in regular (bare fiber), semi-ruggedized (ø0.9 mm sleeving) or custom housings, depending on the installation environment. Please contact AMS Technologies to discuss your specific requirements.
Services for HI REL customers include custom qualification programs, dedicated workstations, full traceability of materials and processing, advanced fiber management, and customer-specific validation tests. G&H high reliability fused fiber optic component types available include fused fiber couplers, tap couplers, wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) and pump combiners:
FFC-xxxxHBxx0 series high reliability fused couplers are available for the 980 nm band (FFC-xx3xHB2x0) with coupling ratios of 5%, 10% or 50% and OFS–BFO5635–02 optical fiber as well as for C or L band (FFC-xxxxHB1x0) with coupling ratios of 2%, 5%, 10% or 50% and Corning SMF-28e+ Photonic optical fiber.
FFP-xx3xxxHx0 series high reliability fused polarization maintaining (PM) couplers are available for five wavelength ranges from 915 to 1599 nm with coupling ratios of 1%, 5%, 10% or 50% and 250 µm buffer Panda PM optical fiber.
FPU-XXX3XXHX0 series high reliability PM low ratio tap couplers tap-off low power from a signal path whilst maintaining polarization through the component. G&H proprietary PM manufacturing technology provides tap ratios as low as 0.01% with ultra-low loss and high polarization extinction ratio. These PM low ratio tap couplers are available for any operating wavelength from 1450 to 1620 nm with coupling ratios of 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 5% or 10% and Nufern PM14XX C-A optical fiber.
FFW-xC3xH2xx0 series high reliability wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) are available for 1550 nm (C band) signal wavelength and pump wavelengths of 980 nm (FFW-5C3xH22x0, OFS BFO5635-02 optical fiber) as well as 1480 nm (FFW-3C3xH21x0, Corning SMF-28e+ Photonic optical fiber).
FPW-5C3xH2xx0 series high reliability 980/1550 nm PM wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) combine multiple wavelengths of light in PM fiber whilst maintaining polarization. In common with all PM components, it is necessary to launch into either the slow or the fast axis to maintain polarization. For the G&H FPW-5C3xH2xx0 PM WDMs, specifications are based on slow axis launch, although fast axis versions are also available if requested.
PBC-xxxxxxxxx series high reliability polarization beam combiners enable the efficient combination of two orthogonally polarized sources of light into a common output fiber. This allows EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) designers to double pump powers whilst ensuring pump redundancy should a pump failure occur, enabling higher power EDFAs and in turn greater data carrying capacity. Applications include high-power optical amplifiers and undersea systems. All ports consist of polarization maintaining fiber.
