Acousto-optical Q-Switches (AOQS)
Description
An acousto-optic Q-switch (AOQS) works within a laser cavity to generate high intensity, pulsed light by actively controlling the Q-factor (loss) of the cavity. Our acousto-optic Q-switches are rugged, reliable, and long-lasting, backed by millions of hours of service in the field.
We offer low insertion loss, highly efficient acousto-optic Q-switches capable of handling very high peak power, and will draw on our 35 years of experience to match the cavity length, repetition rate, wavelength, beam diameter, polarization state and output power of a laser to the best acousto-optic Q-switch solution.
A high quality acousto-optic Q-switch has several important characteristics:
- Very low loss in the “off” state to maximize output intensity
- Ability to withstand very high peak laser power
- Excellent transducer reliability to allow long-term use without maintenance
