Free-Space AO Components
Brimrose free‑space Acousto‑Optic (AO) components are designed for applications that require great flexibility in wavelength, bandwidth, and aperture size, along with strong high‑power handling for demanding optical setups. These components are well‑suited for advanced laboratory setups, research systems, and industrial laser applications.
Each component uses high‑quality crystals that provide strong diffraction and remain stable as temperatures change. Our free‑space AO devices support essential functions such as Q‑switching, beam steering, and frequency shifting. A matched RF driver is included with every device to ensure reliable, consistent performance. We provide custom solutions designed to match your system’s optical and mechanical needs, ensuring smooth integration and long‑term reliable performance.
