  • Laser beam deflection
  • Intensity modulation
  • Multiple beam generation
  • Flat optical scan response
  • Acoustic phased array design1
  • Optical signal processing
  • Optical frequency shifting
  • High reliability

1These deflectors incorporate and acoustic phased-array beam steering design to produce a relatively flat firstorder diffraction efficiency across the deflection bandwidth. Because of this design feature, the deflectors requirea single RF power amplifier to drive the multiple transducer array.
