Acousto-Optic Q-Switches (AOQS)
Acousto-optic Q-switches deliver exceptional pulse stability with nanosecond precision and high repetition rates up to 500 kHz, ideal for high-speed laser processing and precise timing control. Featuring a non-mechanical design, they offer long service life, low wear, and minimal maintenance. With low insertion loss (<5%) and high diffraction efficiency (>90%), these devices maximize laser efficiency while preserving superior beam quality.
AOQS generate high-peak-power, short laser pulses inside the laser cavity. By rapidly modulating cavity loss, they produce sharp Q-switched pulses at repetition rates exceeding 100 kHz. They operate in either Bragg mode (similar to AOM) or Raman-Nath mode, depending on acoustic frequency and interaction length.
Tuniu Optics provides complete AOQS solutions compatible with polarized / non-polarized, lamp-pumped, and LD-pumped lasers. Covering wavelengths from UV to far IR and beam diameters up to 12 mm, our Q-switches use high-grade AO materials (fused silica, crystalline quartz, Ge, etc.) and support both shear and longitudinal wave designs. Advanced optical polishing, low-reflection AR coatings with high damage threshold, and robust thermal management ensure stable performance, high transmittance, and excellent beam quality.
We also offer a full range of RF drivers matched to our AOQS products for optimized performance.
