Laser Modulator

Laser modulators are devices used in the field of communication, detection, and coherent radiation equipment. They are part of the supply class called Stimulated Coherent Radiation Devices, Components, and Accessories.

A laser modulator is a device that is used to control or modulate the intensity, frequency, or phase of a laser beam. It is an essential component in various applications such as telecommunications, fiber optics, laser spectroscopy, and laser-based imaging systems.

The main purpose of a laser modulator is to manipulate the properties of the laser beam to suit specific requirements. This can include changing the intensity of the beam for data transmission, adjusting the frequency for signal processing, or altering the phase for interference-based applications.

Laser modulators can be based on different principles, including electro-optic modulation, acousto-optic modulation, or magneto-optic modulation. Each type of modulator has its own advantages and is suitable for specific applications.

In summary, laser modulators are crucial components in communication, detection, and coherent radiation equipment. They enable the manipulation of laser beam properties to meet the specific needs of various applications.
