IntraAction MLR Series Mode Locker – Ti:Sapphire
The MLR Series Mode Locker is an acoustic standing-wave device with resonant mode spacing determined by the thickness of the acousto-optic material. When an integral number of acoustic half wavelengths are present across the material, standing waves are formed and modulate the laser cavity at twice the applied RF frequency.
- Concurrent CW mode suppression
- Short optical path length
- Low acoustic Q
- User-specified frequency
- Regenerative laser systems
- Custom designs available1
- High reliability
1Specify RF frequency, optical beam diameter, window configuration, and optical wavelength or range.
