AOMO 3041 Ge 10.6µm 7mm is a long-wave infrared acousto-optic modulator using a germanium acousto-optic medium. Designed for CO2 and 10.6µm infrared laser systems, it provides stable beam gating, optical switching and dynamic intensity modulation. Efficient infrared beam interaction, low optical loss and excellent thermal stability meet optical-flux preservation, reliable-control and long-term operation requirements in long-wave infrared laser systems. The favorable acousto-optic properties of germanium in the CO2 laser band allow AOMO 3041 Ge 10.6µm 7mm to provide highly efficient, low-loss modulation for infrared photonic systems requiring compact beam handling and high stability. High-quality antireflection-coated optics reduce surface-reflection loss, while a compressed acoustic-wave operating mode and water cooling improve stability and reliability during high-power operation. Applications include CO2 laser-processing systems, industrial laser equipment, research laser platforms, infrared optical test systems and OEM laser instruments, providing high-performance, highly reliable beam modulation and control for long-wave infrared laser applications.
