Understanding Spatial AOFS: Enhancing Precision in Optical System

Spatial AOFS (Acousto-Optic Frequency Shifter) is a cutting-edge technology used to control and modulate light with high precision. By leveraging acoustic waves to diffract and shift the frequency of laser beams, spatial AOFS enables dynamic beam steering, frequency tuning, and signal processing in applications like lidar, microscopy, and optical c

Acousto-Optic Modulator (AOM): A Brief Overview

An Acousto-Optic Modulator (AOM) is a device that uses sound waves to control light. It works by applying an RF (radio frequency) signal to a piezoelectric transducer, which generates ultrasonic waves in a crystal (e.g., tellurium dioxide). These waves create a periodic refractive index variation, acting like a moving diffraction grating. When la

What is an Acousto-Optic Deflector (AOD)?

An Acousto-Optic Deflector (AOD) is a high-speed, precise laser beam steering device that uses sound waves to control light. By applying an RF (radio frequency) signal to a crystal, the AOD generates acoustic waves that diffract and deflect the laser beam. Key Advantages of AODs: ? Ultra-Fast Steering – Microsecond response time for rapid
