AOM and Power source research

This is a data dump for the random assortment of AOM's and RF drivers we have in from the previous lab.

Power sources:

There is one of these. Should be sufficient for intial AOM tests.

AOMS:

1) Brimrose Model TEF-200-50 (this is my best guess, not 100% sure)

(https://www.brimrose.com/free-space-ao/acousto-optic-frequency-shifters).

2) NEC A-O Modulator Mod. C8217-A (Discontinued model. No info on these. There are at least 2 of these)

57-78 MHz drive frequency. 

3) Isomet AOM Model 1201E

FREQUENCY BW POWER

40MHz 20MHz  1.6W

4) There are an additional 3 viable AOMs with not enough distinguishable markings on them to identify what kind they are.

 

Plan to use the TEF-200-50 to start.

All these AOMS are currently stored in FG6 in the ULine cabinet.
