AdvR has developed a process for creating a series of electro-optic prisms in an electro-optic material
through a domain reversal process to achieve voltage-controlled laser light deflection capable of high optical
power and high transmission. Many poled configurations are available to maximize beam deflection performance for
specific applications. Representative specifications and scanning patterns are highlighted below.
The above video demonstrates a 1064 nm, 10 mW vertically polarized CW beam deflected in two dimensions using non-linear optical crystals engineered by AdvR. Two of these crystals were placed orthogonally and up to +/- 400 volts were applied, independently, to each crystal to deflect the beam as shown on a 5 mm x 5 mm screen at 1-10 Hz. The speed and screen size were selected for convenience and visualization.
The technology supports operation from the visible to the infrared at power levels up to about 5 watts CW. The maximum angle of deflection depends on the size of the crystal, voltage, and other factors (such as the specific NLO crystal).
