US LASER CORP: Product Catalog
Acousto-Optic
Q-switches
The AO Q-switch is an optical device
consisting of an A/R coated fused silica cell which has an integral
acoustic transducer. The unit is water cooled, and is driven by a
separate RF drive source. When modulated RF power is applied to the
Q-switch, the intracavity laser beam is deflected, causing substantial
loss of cavity gain. During this time the laser continues to store
energy. When the RF drive is removed, the cavity returns to the high
gain condition, and a short duration pulse is achieved. When properly
used, the Q-switch is capable of fully holding off 50-100 watts of
laser power. It is highly recommended that the Q-switch be mounted on a
2 axis kinematically adjustable mount such as Model N1009-1, or a 4
axis kinematically adjustable model 1009-2. For help in selecting the
Q-switch mount, or for further technical information, contact the U.S.
Laser sales department.

* Note: 24 MHz high
power AO Q-switches have been superseded for over 7 years. Thus, as of
November 1, 2011 US Laser will no longer support the 24 MHz Q-switches.
If you are currently using a 24 MHz Q-switch US Laser can provide an
upgrade to the 27 MHz Q-switch which will include the change of the RF
Driver Module to 27 MHz.
