GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Mechanical Precautions
Note that any strong mechanical shock can lead to irreversible damage on the component and
particularly on the crystal
lono for the products with fixation from the bottom part: take care with the length of the screws. too
g screws may destroy the crystal
Electrical Precautions
v Do not force on the connectors
v Never disconnect the connectors while power supply iS ON
Optical Precautions
Windows Cleaning
v Dust on optical windows can be responsible for irreversible damage on the coating(especially if
you use high power ). Use the component in a clean environment as much as possible
v To clean up the optical surfaces: use a soft Q-tip. First, clean it with pure ethanol, then with
acetone. Most of Ao components use soft materials and need careful cleaning
v Oily stains"should be removed immediately to avoid irreversible marks
Installation and Adjustment precautions
All of these specifications values are indicated on the test sheet of your ao component Please refer to it
Laser Power Density
v Check the maximum value specified for the given AO component, otherwise irreversible damage
could occur
Laser polarization
Y Make sure that the specified optical polarization is correct to have an optimum Ao efficiency
(random, circular, perpendicular or parallel to the base - depending on the component)
Optical Aperture
Y Holes in the housing of the modulator are larger than the specified optical aperture. The Ao
component will need to be adjusted, using slight translations perpendicular to the laser beam, ir
order to get the beam traveling through the correct area of the crystal and to maximize the
fici
focus the laser beam on the ao cover
Incidence Angle
v Make sure that the position of the Ao component corresponds to the specified value of the
ncidence angle in order to optimize the efficiency
Warning: Any disassembling of your AO component makes the guarantee null and void!
AO PRESENTATION
Laser beam passing through an acousto-optic modulator, driven by an RF power, is diffracted into a single
power. For low RF power, the diffracted laser intensity is proportional to the Radio Frequency powe/ 3
order(). Under a specific incidence angle(bragg) the diffracted laser beam intensity can be controlled by the
RF I
Each time we will speak about Modulator, you can replace by Frequency Shifter or Lowe resolution Deflector
(): This interaction can be possible if several parameters are respected(Bragg interaction)

TO START OPERATION
It is recommended to operate the AA Modulator with its associated AA RF driver, which is optimized at factory
to get the highest performance you're your Ao component
Please refer to the ao test sheet to know the maximum rF power you need to operate your device
For the first installation, remove the protective tape on the two apertures(in oUt)of the Ao cover(O). IN
and OUT are specified on the faces, when it has an importance and consequence on the performances of the
component
For your safety and the safety of your modulator, do not install the modulator while the LaSER is oN. Use a
mechanical shutter or switch off your laser during this procedure, especially for high power lasers
Now, you are ready to begin the installation of your Ao component

ADJUSTMENT OPTIMZATION
Acousto-Optic Efficiency
ADUSTING POSITION OF THE AO DEVICE
The aim of this adjustment is to optimize the position of the Ao component, by measuring the level of the
output optical signal. It requires the following components of measurement: photo-detector connected to an
oscilloscope
o Install a photo-detector on the"diffraction order (")of the laser beam
2 Connect the photo-detector with an oscilloscope. Check the level indicator on the oscilloscope
corresponding to the received laser intensity, stays in the linear part of the photo-detector.
3 Adjust the input laser incidence angle with a slight rotation of the Ao
component to get the maximum intensity in the 1 diffraction order
Adjustments can be done by hand, thanks to rotation-translation stages, or
thanks to the bragg hole() for higher accuracy This rotation can be
positive or negative depending on the mode/ and on the shifted frequency
Please refer to the test sheet of your Ao component to get this
specification

associating slight translations and rotations of the ao component

INPUT POLARIZATION
The aim of this adjustment is to optimize the laser polarization, by measuring the level of the output optical
signal in First order. It requires the following measurement system: photo-detector connected to an
oscilloscope
o Install a photo-detector on the"1 diffraction order ()of the laser beam
2 Connect the photo-detector with an oscilloscope. Check the level indicator on the oscilloscope,
corresponding to the received laser intensity, stays in the linear part of the photo-detector
3 Adjust the laser polarization with slight rotation of the laser to get the maximum intensity in the

RF POWER
If an increasing RF signal power allows a better efficiency, but when the optimum RF signal value is
exceeded, the efficiency decreases, because the conditions for an optimal Acousto-Optic interaction are either

To decrease the Ao rise time(tr)of your Ao component, reduce the beam
diameter(O): T,=B, with B a constant and v the acoustic velocity
Choose the beam diameter to calculate the necessary focal length, use the following relation in function of the
F2
desired beam diameter(0): 0 =a
L., with a a constant depending on the beam profile(=i for TEMOO
beams, in Gaussian diffraction limited approximation)
Precaution
Calculate the minimum rise time corresponding to the minimum beam diameter specified in the test sheet of
your Ao component. In fact, if the beam diameter is too small, the laser beam divergence(DIVo) will be too
arge. So there will be an incorrect matching between the laser beam divergence(DIVo) and the acoustic
divergence(DIVA), which will lead to an output elliptic beam associated to an Ao efficiency loss

KEY WORD
DEFINITION /COMMENTS/ FoRMULA
When an acoustic wave propagates in the Bragg cell, it generates a perturbation of the refraction index in the cell. When
the matching phase is successful, the light is diffracted through the acoustical"grating"(with a grating step corresponding to
the acoustic wavelength): A=- where v: the acoustic velocity and F: the acoustic frequency
ACOUSTO-OPTIC INTERACTION
the theory of the momentum and energy conservations (for the incident light (k, i), the diffracted light(Ra in) and the
ustic signal(K F) allows to obtain the following expressions
k,=k+K, with/k; /=2n/2/ka/=2nd/) and/K/=2zF/v
For Isotropic Interaction:n=n→/k/=/k/,t=f±F
"0"AND"1ST orDERS
The 0"and"orders are respectively, the direct beam through the ao component, and the beam deviated by
acoustic diffraction grating
In the anisotropic interaction, a flip of the incident polarization is produced depending on the difference of the material
OUTPUT POLARIZATION
refraction index
In the isotropic interaction, the output polarization is identical to the incident polarization(ni=nd)
The optical transmission is the ratio between the light intensity at the output of the Ao component (o) and the light
