Acousto-Optic ModulatorsAssociated RF drivers

These drivers based on quartz oscillators, produce a fixed RF

frequency signal. Drivers can be provided at any frequency

from 10 to 3 GHz. All models use crystal controlled oscillators.

The RF output can be externally modulated. The settling time

varies from 2 ns to 100 ns depending on the fixed frequency

and RF power. Usually the driver is coupled internally to a

power amplifier; if the output power required is very high then

the amplifier will be provided separately, offering RF powers up

to 500 W CW.
