DWDM MUX/DEMUX
Fiber Pigtailed devices
We propose fiber pigtailed AO devices with PM or non-PM fibers on standard basis but we could also equip the AO devices with any fiber type on request.

Fiber Pigtailed Pulse Picker
Due to its fast rise/fall time, an AO device can be used to extract pulse(s) out of high repetition rate lasers

High Resolution Deflectors
An Acousto-optic Deflector provides the possibility to spatially change the position of the diffracted beam by varying the applied RF frequency. The high resolution deflectors uses the shear mode configuration…

DWDM MUX/DEMUX
Low Resolution Deflectors & Variable Frequency Shifters

These AO devices have been optimized for a broader frequency range and permits either to have a variable frequency shifter or a low resolution but fast deflector.

Modulators & Fixed Frequency Shifters

Acousto-optic modulators are used to vary and control laser beam intensity. They can also be used as fixed frequency shifters due to fact that the diffracted order is frequency shifted…

90° Hybrids
Q-Switches

Acousto-optic Q-switches are usually intracavity devices with high transmission and high damaged threshold. They equip most Q-switched lasers providing repetition frequencies up t0 hundreds of KHz.

Tunable Filters

An Acousto-optic tunable filter is used to selected one or several wavelengths and transmit them individually or simultaneously. The filters allow also to control their respective intensity.
