It is based on the acousto-optic effect, i. the modification of the refractive index of some crystal or glass material by the oscillating. www. Our Germanium Acousto-Optic Modulators (I-M0 Series) deliver exceptional performance in extra-cavity modulation and power control. Engineered with premium mono-crystalline germanium, advanced AR coatings. An acousto-optic modulator consists of a piezoelectric transducer which creates sound waves in a material like glass or quartz. By vibrating the material with a pure sinusoid and tilting the AOM so the light is reflected from the flat sound waves into. The objective of this work is to demonstrate a path to high-performance acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) with sub-milliWatt power consumption, orders of magnitude below that of conventional AOMs.
