Acousto Optics

Acousto-optic devices use sound waves travelling through a crystal to manipulate laser light with exceptional speed and precision. Radio-frequency signals are converted into acoustic waves within the crystal, enabling the device to modulate light intensity, shift optical frequency, steer laser beams, select specific wavelengths, or produce short laser pulses. With no moving parts, acousto-optic technology delivers ultra-fast response times, outstanding reliability, and precise laser control for demanding scientific, industrial, medical, and aerospace applications.

Our partner G&H offers a comprehensive portfolio of acousto-optic solutions, including devices for laser modulation, beam steering, frequency shifting, wavelength selection, and pulse generation. The range is complemented by dedicated RF driver electronics designed to maximize performance and simplify system integration.
