AOM drivers are used in various applications, including:
1. Laser Pulse Shaping: In research and medical applications, precise control of laser pulses is necessary. An AOM driver ensures the correct modulation of pulse duration and intensity.
2. Material Processing: In industrial settings, AOM drivers help modulate laser intensity for tasks like cutting, engraving, and welding.
3. Telecommunications: AOM drivers are essential for modulating laser beams in optical communication systems, ensuring data integrity over long distances.

Fiber AOMs utilize the acousto-optic effect, where sound waves induce a periodic change in a material's refractive index. This interaction enables precise control over laser light properties, such as intensity and frequency. These modulators are often fiber-coupled, allowing seamless integration with fiber-optic systems.
