Mid-IR & Far-IR Acousto-Optic Modulator

Beyond Visible: Mastering Light from 2µm to 10.6µm

The VL-AOM-MIR Series consists of three dedicated sub-series:

1.2µm (2000nm) Series: Designed for 2µm solid-state/fiber lasers in medical and remote sensing fields. Offering 40MHz and 80MHz frequency options with conduction or water-cooled packaging, featuring an extremely high damage threshold (>500 MW/cm²).

2.3-5µm Mid-IR Series: Targeting defense and gas detection applications. This series maintains high diffraction efficiency of >90% across a broad spectrum, supports up to 10W drive power, and offers 2mm and 4mm clear apertures.

3.10.6µm Far-IR Series: The ideal companion for CO₂ lasers. Featuring an industry-leading 8mm ultra-large aperture, it achieves >90% efficiency at 10.6µm and supports 60W high RF drive power, perfectly suited for industrial high-power applications.

Key Applications

• Laser Surgery : 2µm lasers are widely used in urology and tissue ablation; AOMs control pulse energy.
• Atmospheric Sensing : Mid-IR (3-5µm) modulators for LIDAR detection of greenhouse gases.
• PCB Processing : CO₂ lasers (10.6µm) for drilling and cutting non-metal materials.
• Thermal Imaging Testing : Modulating IR sources to test the response speed of thermal cameras.
