AA propose a line of Acousto-optic Q-switches and associated RF drivers, for a wide range of applications. They are manufactured from the highest quality materials, with optimized hard coatings for high damage threshold and long term operation. All AA Q-switches are designed so as to optimize heat dissipation and beam stability with a unique glueing and mechanical technology which reduces stress during operation.
Air-cooled Q-Switches
Compact solutions for short cavities, or low gain cavities.
- RF drivers for Q-Switches
A complete range of Q-switches drivers from 24 MHz up to 110MHz, with RF power up to 200 Watts.
Different sizes and models with a wide choice of control signals in order to shape your pulses.
