Our AO devices
Modulators & Fixed Frequency Shifters
Acousto-optic modulators are used to vary and control laser beam intensity. They can also be used as fixed frequency shifters due to fact that the…
High Resolution Deflectors
An Acousto Optic Deflector provides the possibility to spatially change the position of the diffracted beam by varying the applied RF frequency. The high resolution…
Low Resolution Deflectors & Variable Frequency Shifters
These AO devices have been optimized for a broader frequency range and permits either to have a variable frequency shifter or a low resolution but…
Fiber pigtailed devices
We propose fiber pigtailed AO devices with PM or non-PM fibers on standard basis but we could also equip the AO devices with any fiber…
Tunable Filters
An Acousto Optic tunable filter is used to selected one or several wavelengths and transmit them individually or simultaneously. The filters allow also to control…
Freespace Pulse Picker
Due to its fast rise/fall time, an AO device can be used to extract pulse(s) out of high repetition rate lasers
Fiber Pigtailed Pulse Picker
Due to its fast rise/fall time, an AO device can be used to extract pulse(s) out of high repetition rate lasers
Q-Switches
Acousto Optic Q-switches are usually intracavity devices with high transmission and high damaged threshold. They equip most Q-switched lasers providing repetition frequencies up t0 hundreds…
Radio frequency drivers
AA offers solutions from prototype design to large volume manufacturing thanks to its internal resources and In-house capabilities. The AO product range covers any wavelengths from 180 nm to 11µm .
Our RF Drivers
Fixed Frequency drivers
These RF drivers are based on quartz oscillators and produce a fixed and stable RF frequency from 10 MHz to 3 GHz. These are power amplifiers embedded and can deliver…
Variable Frequency drivers
AA proposes a complete range of variable frequency RF drivers based on Voltage Controlled Oscillators or Digital Synthesizers. The frequency control-adjustments can be through USB, RS232, Bluetooth, external analog signals…
Power Amplifiers
AA’s Power Amplifiers are designed for general purpose RF/Optical applications. They exhibit large RF bandwidths as well as high RF power while having a low electrical power consumption. They are…
Synchro drivers
These drivers have been designed in order to offer highest possible performance in high speed Pulse Picking application. They include a programmable built-in signal generator synchronized on the laser’s repetition…

Theory & general application notes
Do you know Acousto-optics ? An RF signal applied to a piezo-electric transducer, bonded to a suitable crystal, will generate an acoustic wave. This acts like a “phase grating”, traveling…
Heterodyne Fourier domain optical coherence tomography for full range probing with high axial resolution
One of the main drawbacks of Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) is the limited measurement depth range. Phase shifting techniques allow reconstructing the complex sample signal resulting in a…
AA Acousto-Optic & RF catalog 2022
AA OPTO-ELECTRONIC proposes the most complete range of Acousto-Optic devices covering wavelengths from 180 nm up to 11 µm including all associated Radio Frequency drivers and power amplifiers.
Fiber Lasers, Introduction
A fiber laser or fibre laser is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium,…
