AOMO 3041 Ge 5.5µm 11.6mm is a long-wave infrared acousto-optic modulator using a germanium acousto-optic medium. Designed for large-beam long-wave infrared laser systems, it provides stable beam gating, optical switching and dynamic intensity modulation. A large active aperture, high optical transmission and excellent infrared beam interaction meet high-optical-flux, low-loss transmission and long-term stable-operation requirements in LWIR laser applications. The favorable infrared acousto-optic properties of germanium allow AOMO 3041 Ge 5.5µm 11.6mm to provide efficient, reliable modulation in specialized laser platforms beyond the visible and near-infrared bands. A compressed acoustic-wave operating mode, large aperture and water cooling improve thermal management and ensure stable, reliable high-power infrared beam control. Applications include long-wave infrared spectral analysis, infrared sensing systems, research laser platforms, optical test equipment and OEM infrared instruments, providing highly efficient, highly stable beam modulation for high-power LWIR laser systems.
