Gooch & Housego Acousto Optics

Innovative acousto-optic device designs

G&H has been a leader in acousto-optic (AO) device design and manufacturing for over 35 years, bringing together some of the best minds and technologies in the field to create a comprehensive line of high-quality products backed by premier service and reliability. We hold our multiple worldwide manufacturing sites to exacting standards, from the in-house growth of our own tellurium dioxide (TeO2) to polishing, antireflection coating, fabrication and testing of devices. The result is unmatched optical power handling, and optical performance delivered consistently over time and in volume.

Every acousto-optic device is affected by trade-offs between speed, aperture size, power handling, and durability. While we cannot change the laws of physics, we can help to find the optimum balance between competing performance parameters. Considering the more subtle aspects of each customer's specific application, we work to identify the ideal device and RF driver.

Acousto-Optic Modulators
Acousto-Optic modulators (AOM) allow the intensity of light to be controlled and modulated at rates that far exceed mechanical shutters, even up to 70MHz read more

Frequency Shifters (AOFS)
Light is Doppler shifter by the centre RF frequency of the device read more

Modulators
Single frequency devices allowing intensity modulation of collimated light read more

Multi-channel Modulators
Multi-channel modulators enable multiple beams to be modulated or deflected independently read more

RF Drivers for acousto-optic devices
RF drivers generate an RF signal that is used to generate the acoustic wave within the crystal of an AO device read more

Q-Switches (AOQS)
Q-switches generate high-intensity, pulsed light in laser cavities by actively controlling the Q-factor of the cavity read more

Tunable Filters (AOTF)
Tunable filters are used to rapidly and dynamically select a specific wavelength from a broadband or multi-line laser source read more
