Utilising a wide range of materials including Crystal Quartz, Fused Silica, Tellurium Dioxide, Lead Molybdate, Chalcogenide Glass, Gallium Phosphate, Silicon and Germanium allows us to offer devices operating in the wavelength range 244 to 15000nm and RF frequencies ranging from <20MHz to >1GHz. We also manufacture a range of RF drivers including; single frequency, tunable frequency (VCO or DFS) and dual frequency master / slave. Typical applications include Interferometry, vibrometry & atom cooling. |

An AO
Frequency Shifter (AOFS) is a device that modifies the frequency of the
optical beam. This is a consequence of the Doppler effect; the
travelling acoustic wave causing the frequency of the optical beam to be
either increased or decreased by an amount equal to the RF carrier
frequency. Since the RF frequency is typically of the order of tens or
hundreds of Megahertz, and the optical frequency is typically of the
order of 1014Hz, the frequency shift is relatively small and would not
normally be perceivable, for example as a visible change in colour.
