AcoustoOpticalModulator

Bases: AcoustoOpticalDevice_Type

Represents the XML element AcoustoOpticalModulator.

An acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is an electronically-tunable device which can be used for controlling the direction and/or intensity of a laser beam by an acoustically-induced diffraction grating in a crystal. It is based on the acousto-optic effect, i.e. the modification of the refractive index of some crystal or glass material by the oscillating mechanical strain of a sound wave (photoelastic effect).
