Bandwidth Radio Frequency Amplifier

Bandwidth Radio Frequency Amplifier

The Bandwidth RF amplifier is a dedicated driver for acousto-optic devices, such as modulators and frequency shifters, operating within a specific frequency range and requiring less than 3 watts of power. It amplifies radio frequency (RF) signals to generate ultrasonic waves in the crystal of the device. The specific frequency and intensity of the amplified RF signal control the level of modulation, deflection, or tuning applied to the laser beam. The amplifier features efficient heat dissipation for reliable operation, and using a matched drive further enhances temperature stability for optimal performance.

Supporting DriveThe SGXX/XX-33-N2-ab-Y model offers two functionalities: Y indicates its ability to shift frequencies through an external radio frequency input, while T signifies its modulation capability. The XXX represents the operating frequency, and 33 specifies the RF output power. The letter N denotes the package type. Power supply options are 24V (marked as 1) and 12V (2). Finally, D signifies digital TTL modulation capability, while A indicates analog modulation.
