Acousto-optic modulators

Crystal Technology's (CTI) acoustic-optic modulators of the Model 3000 Series provide a reliable, economical means for amplitude modulation of laser light. When coupled with a companion driver module from the CTL Model 1000 Series, they provide an easy-to-use combination for a wide variety of applications. The diffracted light has a frequency shifted by the frequency of the applied drive, enabling frequency control applications.

For visible and near IR laser lines, TeO2 is the material of choice because of its high figure of merit (diffraction efficiency per Watt of drive power). For UV laser lines, quartz is preferred.
