A fiber coupled AOM (Acousto-Optic Modulator) requires an RF driver. AeroDIODE offers a range of RF drivers configured for either digital input (TTL) or analog input configurations. Our selection of RF drivers is shown in the product section below. Additionally, the AeroDIODE TOMBAK synchronization tool is offered for complex synchronization applications such as pulse-picking mode locked lasers. Scroll down to see all available options like “down-shifted modules”, “dual output” or “special RF frequency”.

AeroDIODE fiber coupled AOM’s (Acoustic Optic Modulators) are used in fiber laser Q-switching and pulse picking applications, narrow line width laser measurements and many other applications related to precision fiber-coupled systems operating in the nanosecond range.
These fiber AOM’s are also used as a fixed frequency shifter. They have the ability to slightly shift positively or negatively the central optical wavelength by a fixed value equal to the RF frequency (±80, ±100 or ±200 MHz) depending on the RF frequency applied to the modulator.
These fiber Acousto Optic Modulators are used as stand-alone products as well as with other products in the AeroDIODE portfolio like :
These acoustic optical modulators are a high performance alternative to other fiber modulator solutions such as Lithium Niobate Electro-Optic Modulators (offered by companies such as iXBlue or Thorlabs). They also offer an alternative to the SOA/SOM semiconductor based fiber optic modulators offered by AeroDIODE. Please refer to our detailed tutorials on high speed fiber modulation to compare the various commercially available solutions: Fiber modulator basics.

It is possible to request that the AOM is optimized for another RF frequency between -250 and +250 MHz (negative means down-shifted AOM, positive means up-shifted AOM). The 0-170 MHz absolute RF frequency range requires that a low loss/low speed AOM model is selected (models with odd numbers : models 1, 3, 5 etc.). The 175-250 MHz absolute frequency range requires that a high speed AOM model is selected (models with even numbers : models 2, 4, 6 etc.). Select this option if you want your AOM to be set for a different RF frequency (for example 45 MHz, 160 MHz or 215 MHz etc.) and indicate the exact RF frequency you want in the comments part.
