PM FIBER-Q®

Polarization Maintaining 1550 nm Fiber Coupled Acousto-Optic Modulator(Low Power Consumption)
T-M080-0.5C8J-3-F2P

The T-M080-0.5C8J-3-F2P acoustooptic modulator is designed for use as
an 80 MHz frequency shifter for
heterodyne interferometry or as anintensity modulator.
Gooch & Housego specialize in providing opticalcomponents for high power fibre laser and amplifiersystems. In-house control of critical manufacturing
processes, from crystalline material selection andorientation, cutting, polishing and anti-reflective
coating through to fiber coupling, ensure ourcomponents are of the highest optical quality.
In addition to the standard product shown, custom
configurations are available for specializedapplications.

Key Features• Low insertion loss
• Compact low profile package• Rugged hermetic design• Stable performance• Low power consumption• Custom configurations availableApplications• Sensing (heterodyne interferometry)• Intensity modulation
