Fiber coupled AOM (Acousto-Optic Modulators) key features :
These modulators are designed and optimized to modulate the intensity of light down to the nanosecond timing range.

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 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 AOM’s are used as stand-alone products as well as with other products in the AeroDIODE portfolio.
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.
