new build 2.5w

That aom will do 532nm, and all the wavelengths listed,
check this experiment out:

do a search for "AA.MTS.110/A3-VIS"

its funny you bring this up now i just tried this for the first time last
night and it dosent seem to work when i give it some voltage from a dac or even a 1.5v battery i get this pattern with no voltage i just get a normal unaffected beam

my cam got blown out from the laser so i drew the pattern as well

Hi,
Do you have it on a mount?
It needs to be aligned perfect, sounds like it doesn't have the correct bragg angle

Take a look at this: http://opto.braggcell.com/uploads/fi...EORY-NOTES.pdf

hmm ok i was told by a few knowledgeable people that the brag adjustment dint apply to ao just for pcaoms i guess ill have to rethink this then
is there an easy way to set it up???

what is the size of the beam going into the aom, is it hitting the sides of the aperture? Don't think the cross like parttern is right tough.
check this setup by IfShrad of the same modulator on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/lfShrad#p/a/u/0/fQmp-p7i4u8
Shrad is a member here on PL, if he sees this maybe he comment.

if you look at his video of the quick setup it looks like my beam

[-bart-]

If you look here you'll see he has the 'atom' patterns too. So I think it's inevitable. But what it is caused by, I don't know.
