Custom Modulators Tailored to Your Application At Boston Micromachines, we know that cutting-edge optical applications often require more than off-the-shelf solutions. Whether you’re operating in non-standard wavelength ranges or pushing the limits of modulation speed, we offer customizable MEMS Grating Modulators designed to meet your specific performance needs. High-Speed Modulation Our MEMS Grating Modulators support high-speed operation with modulation frequencies up to 200 kHz. These devices maintain consistent performance across the full range and do not rely on resonance, offering flexibility across a variety of time-critical applications. If your requirements stretch beyond standard limits, we can explore custom configurations with higher operational rates. Extended Wavelength Compatibility While our standard devices are optimized for 600-1100 nm wavelength range, we have successfully extended performance into the 1300-1800 nm range and have demonstrated capability up to 2200 nm in proof-of-concept devices. These extended-range modulators require modifications such as higher drive voltages and are subject to additional testing and qualification. Contact us to explore how our modulator technology can be tailored to your application. Our team is ready to provide technical guidance, quote custom builds, and help you integrate the right solution into your system.

Thorlabs Fast Laser Power Modulator for Two-Photon Microscopy Fast Laser Power Modulator for Two-Photon Microscopy Use the Boston Micromachines MEMS Grating Modulator as an enabling component in the Thorlabs DC power attenuator and high-speed modulator. The all-reflective design incorporates the gold-coated MEMS Grating Modulator device that is polarization independent and introduces minimal (<100 fs 2 ) dispersion as a central component. This unidirectional device accepts a collimated, 1 to 2 mm (1/e 2 ) diameter input beam with 250:1) or high (2500:1) contrast ratios. The Fast Laser Power Modulator is available now through the Thorlabs website. Click below to find out more.

Boston Micromachines is happy to provide accessories or add-ons that you may need for your optical setup process or DM system. Please contact us for more details about the options below. Flat Setup Mirrors Setup and coarsely align your optical system prior to using a Boston Micromachines deformable mirror. Now available for most models including the Multi-DM, and Kilo-DM. Save time and reduce the risk to your DM. Contact us for more information. Open Loop Calibration For users who prefer to operate our mirror in deflection-space over command-space, we offer an upgrade to our basic control software. This option simplifies the use of the mirror in open loop situations where closed-loop operation is not desired or orthogonal shapes need to be generated. This can be purchased with your mirror or any time thereafter to enhance your DM control experience. This capability can be implemented in your existing software setup using any of the already-available software drivers included with your DM system. Custom Cables Custom Cables that connect the Boston Micromachines deformable mirror to their respective driver can be provided upon request. Cables can vary in length for an array of system setups. Contact us for more information. Custom Wavelength Protective Windows BMC Deformable Mirrors are available with standard windows attached to protect the mirror surface. If a custom wavelength range is desired with higher transmission, a custom solution can be used. Contact us for more information. Removable Vacuum/Purge Window BMC offers a removable window with added environmental control ports for users who want one of the following options: 1) Removal of the protective window from the DM housing. 2) Use of purge gas for environmental control. 3) Vacuum implementation to optimize mechanical response time by critically damping the deformable mirror actuators. High-Resolution Upgrade The High Resolution Upgrade to the Kilo-Driver enables control of Boston Micromachines DM hardware with increased resolution. The improvement increases the step size available by 2 bits of control resolution. This translates to 16-bit control for the Kilo-Class Driver. Hermetic Sealing For users who would like an added level of isolation from the elements, we offer hermetic sealing on select models of our deformable mirrors. These mirrors meet the requirements of the MIL-STD-883 specification. Prices vary based on product. We can find the right accessory for you Boston Micromachines Corporation has the best components available to help you make your research project a reality. Unsure which deformable mirror accessories will best suit your needs? We can help you make the optimal choice so that you can focus on moving your research forward.
