Description
The Brimrose Free Space Acousto-Optic (AO) Standing Wave Mode Lockers, with corresponding RF Variable Frequency drivers, are designed so the frequency matches the customer’s laser resonant cavity longitudinal mode frequencies. It is necessary to adjust the resonant laser cavity mode spacing frequency to be equal to twice the original acoustic wave frequency to achieve mode locking.
The mode-locking technique is actually a phase locking process, connecting the various longitudinal modes by fixing the relative phase differences among them.
