fiber modulator comparison - AOM
Fiber coupled Acousto Optic Modulators are one of the 4 commonly used technologies for high speed fiber-optic modulation. AeroDIODE also offers solutions based on semiconductor SOA devices. See our tutorial “fiber modulator basics” and the other product pages of the fiber modulator menu. -Scroll-down to see all models and prices-

Pulse picker turn-key solution :

  • 14 laser Pulse-picker versions from 700 to 1850 nm
  • Compatible with ultra-short laser sources (fs, ps etc.)
  • Insertion loss down to 1.2 dB
  • Maximum input optical power up to 5 watts (average power)
  • High speed pulsing down to 10 nsec rise/fall time
  • Input pulse repetition rate up to 100 MHz (200 MHz available)
  • Output pulse repetition rate from single shot up to 20 MHz
  • Extinction ratio up to 50 dB
  • No timing constraint on input pulse width for triggering down to 10 fs
  • All AOM Pulse picker models are offered with PM fiber (compatible with similar non-PM fiber)
  • 3 Pulse-picking synchronization modes : Divider (low Jitter), Synchro (external or internal low frequency triggering) and Burst Shaper (Contact us for other special modes)
  • 100’s of synchronization configurations accessible with the pulse picker embedded flexible electronics and its dedicated GUI
  • Gating window adjustable in phase (10 ps step) and duration (2 ns step)
  • Adjustable voltage level threshold for input pulse triggering down to 5 mV

 

This laser Pulse Picker turnkey solution is designed and optimized to modulate the intensity of light down to the nanosecond timing range in order to reject pulses with a high extinction ratio and keeping other pulses with a very low insertion loss. It is an ideal solution for laser pulse picking of mode-locked laser oscillators.

It contains our famous pulse-picker (TOMBAK) board. All use cases are explained in a well detailed Pulse picker Operating_manual and a specific application note.

The GUI software lets the user have total control of all module functions. It includes several libraries for software integration (LabVIEW VIs, DLLs, Hexa, Python etc.). Complex systems, such as fiber lasers, can be quickly developed on this module platform.
