new here and I want to research acousto optic modulator

kojitiger - 25-10-2021 at 18:32

hello,

I need some lasers in my project, but the knowledge about lasers is very difficult. The project is to change the laser with an acousto optic modulator.
Is there anybody doing the similar projects ?

Thanks.

Welcome. I think you will have fun here.
As to your question, I have no idea. I am sure someone will know something.

kojitiger,

Maybe something like this video from an awesome guy named Steve Mould on youtube?

It seems that no one here knows acousto optic modulator.

It's a device to change the laser , like this video showed .

I know enough to realise that someone who has to ask on amateur science web pages is probably not going to be building an AOM.

What is the actual project?

I've seen a fair bit in regards to amateur laser enthusiasts using AOMs. The main thing I've seen them used for are Q-Switches on pulsed lasers however there are many different applications for AOMs, could you be more specific as to what you want to use an AOM for, since they have many uses?
