Abstract

Acousto-optic laser deflectors with 24UU and 4UU0 spot resolution have been proven in several working systems built at Isomet. These deflectors, made of single crystal Te0₂, offer the advantage of no moving parts, no facet errors and no realignment because of bearing wear. The high resolution Te0₂ deflectors have been developed to the point where they can offer an attractive alternative to mechanical scanning; for very high resolution at high speeds (50 spots/µs), A-0 scanning is superior.
