此款激光强度调制器为电光强度调制器，通过电光效应实现对激光的强度进行调制，可用于产生激光脉冲或其它用途。可根据使用场合，选择光纤耦合式或者自由光传播模式。适用于大功率激光调制。
Some applications call for modulated pulses instead of continuous radiation or optical switches. This can be provided by an AOM/AOTF (acousto-optic modulator/acousto-optical tunable filter) or an EOM (electro-optic modulator). Both are highly suitable for switching of laser beams due to their relatively low response and rise times . Fiber-coupled optical modulators enhance laser safety by confining the beam to optical fibers and increase the stability and reproducibility in comparison with free beam setups.
