How to Choose a Suitable Fiber-Coupled AOM?

Selecting the right fiber-coupled acousto-optic modulator (FCAOM) involves considering several factors that depend on your specific application. Here's a breakdown of key criteria to guide your choice:

1. Wavelength

Identify your desired operating wavelength: FCAOMs function across a wide range, but different models may have optimized performance for specific wavelength regions (e.g., 1064 nm, 1550 nm).

2. Optical Power Handling

Determine the maximum optical power your application requires: FCAOMs excel at handling high power, but there are limitations. Choose a model exceeding your anticipated power needs.

3. Modulation Characteristics

Consider the type of modulation needed: FCAOMs primarily function for intensity modulation (controlling light beam intensity). If you require phase or frequency modulation, explore alternative modulators.

Define the desired switching speed: FCAOMs offer fast switching speeds, but they can vary between models. Select one that meets your speed requirements for pulse control or other applications.

4. Other Considerations

Insertion Loss: FCAOMs introduce some insertion loss (reduction in light intensity). Look for models with minimal loss to maximize light transmission efficiency.

Extinction Ratio: This parameter indicates how well the light beam is extinguished in the "off" state. Higher extinction ratios are desirable for clear on/off modulation.

RF Driver Compatibility: Ensure compatibility between the chosen FCAOM and the RF driver that provides the electrical signal for sound wave generation.

Additional Tips

Consult manufacturer datasheets: Detailed specifications and performance curves are provided by FCAOM manufacturers. These resources will help you compare models and identify the best fit for your needs.

Consider reputable vendors: Look for established manufacturers known for quality FCAOMs and reliable technical support.

 

By carefully evaluating these factors and consulting with vendors, you can select a fiber-coupled acousto-optic modulator that effectively meets the demands of your fiber optic application.
