AO DEVICES
Turning ideas into reality began with an idea for GHz acousto-optic devices in the early 1980's. Brimrose developed the technique to make it happen. And to this day, we continue to be one of the few companies delivering high-frequency devices in custom‑built small‑form packages.
Acousto-Optic Devices
Custom Configurations — Our Specialty
Brimrose offers a broad product line of high‑quality, customized acousto‑optic (AO) components for laboratory, research & development, and industrial laser applications. Built on our advanced Acousto Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) technology, we deliver solutions that solve complex optical challenges. We design and engineer free‑space and fiber‑coupled AO devices to meet each customer’s unique specifications, supporting GHz‑level performance, fully custom builds, single‑unit orders, and cost‑effective OEM programs.
AOTF Technology
Our Legacy in Acousto‑Optic Innovation
An AOTF is a solid‑state acousto‑optic device that uses radio‑frequency (RF) acoustic waves inside a crystal to separate a single wavelength of light from a broadband or multi‑color source. Because the selected wavelength is determined entirely by the applied RF frequency—without any moving parts—the device provides fast, precise, and geometry‑independent tuning. This enables rapid scanning, wide spectral coverage, and high optical throughput, making AOTF technology ideal for NIR spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and real‑time process‑control applications. This same AOTF technology also forms the foundation of our AOTF‑NIR spectrometers, which apply these advantages to advanced NIR measurement systems.
