Ge AOM RF Driver

2 x 75 Watt Germanium Acousto-optic Modulator driver

The HP040-060-150ADG-A10-2X
driver provides up to 150 Watt
combined output power and isdesigned to drive dual frequency
germanium acousto-optic modulators.
The driver can be operated with modulation
frequencies (analogue and digital) up to 1 MHz for RF
amplitude control and up to 5 MHz for drive frequency
control.
Water cooling parts made from copper ensures highest
standards for corrosion protection.
Optimum EMC shielding and mechanical protectionis achieved by an aluminium casing and a conductive
surface passivation.
This product conforms to the requirements of theEuropean Union Directive 2011/65/EU of the European
Parliament and of the Council on the Restriction of theUse of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical andElectronic Equipment.

Key Features• Combined RF output power up to 150 Watt
• Constant output power design• High SWR and Overheat safety shutdown• Copper cooling parts• Compact casing, fully shielded (EMC)

Applications:• Industrial (material processing):–	PCB via drilling–	Marking and engraving–	Micro-perforation
