8-Channel UV Acousto-Optic Modulator—Model H-501 Series

Description

The Model H-500 Series multichannel acousto-optic modulators allow eight independent beams to be modulated at data rates in excess of 20 Mb/s. Light from a coherent optical source is focused to multiple beam waists within the optical medium composed of low loss UV optical grade fused silica, and are proportionally directed into a primary intense diffraction order when an acoustic pulse is introduced by a suitable RF source. Each channel is driven by an independent RF source through a standard SMA cable interface connector.

Applications

Multichannel acousto-optic modulators are used to independently modulate an array of light beams for photolithographic printing, optical computing, and signal processing applications.

Highlights

  • Excellent performance achieved through the use of high-frequency, bulk wave transducers and specialized fabrication techniques.
  • High reliability assured due to high vacuum application of alloy bonded transducers and low loss, ultra-hard, multilayer UV-qualified AR coatings.
