Acousto-optic Deflectors (AODF)
Description
Gooch & Housego acousto-optic deflectors (AODF) provide precise spatial control of an optical beam, whether performing 1D or 2D scanning or executing beam deflection through a fixed angle.
Our acousto-optic deflectors offer highly uniform diffraction efficiency across the full scan angle, with consistent power throughput for scanning applications like material processing and digital imaging.
The G&H acousto-optic deflector product line includes:
- Visible and NIR wavelength products based on tellurium dioxide crystals, grown in-house
- UV wavelength products based on fused silica and crystal quartz
- Broad bandwidth products based on a longitudinal mode approach using a phased array of piezoelectric elements
- High efficiency products based on slow shear deflection using parallel tangents off-axis interactions
