Buying Acousto-optic Deflectors
Acousto-optic deflectors (AOBDs) are devices used to precisely control the direction of a laser beam by varying the frequency of an electrical signal. These deflectors are integral in applications such as laser scanning, material processing, and optical communication systems where dynamic beam steering is required.
