200 MHz Analog RF Driver for Fiber Optic Acousto-Optic Modulators

Product Overview:

Driver for Fiber-coupled AOM Overview:

This RF driver is designed to integrate seamlessly with AeroDIODE's acousto-optic modulators (AOM). In order to drive the AOM a high power RF signal is required, typically more power than can be delivered by a small-signal high-frequency RF signal generator; an RF driver is employed to provide the high power RF signal to the AOM.

This model accepts a low-level analog input signal, and amplifies the signal to drive the acousto-optic modulator. This acousto-optic modulator is designed to operate at a set frequency of 200 MHz, determined by the physics and construction of the Bragg cell.

Analog and Digital Signal RF Drivers

In addition to this analog-input RF driver, there is also a digital signal generator that operates at 200 MHz. A combined analog-digital signal RF generator is available that combines analog- and TTL-signals at 200 MHz.

The operating frequency of the RF driver must be matched to the AOM; when you order an acousto-optic modulator and RF driver, we'll match the driver frequency to the AOM that you've chosen for your application.

AOM - Driver Frequency Matching

The RF driver frequency must be matched to the AOM; when you order a fiber-coupled acousto-optic modulator and RF driver, we'll make sure the driver frequency matches the AOM that you've chosen for your application.
