A Compact Laser Diode Module with Shutter (850 nm, 20 mW) emits near-infrared light for sensing or alignment tasks. The shutter enables controlled beam exposure, useful in safety-critical or timed applications. It's commonly used in LiDAR, barcode scanning, and optical communication systems.

The AOM 3080-122 is an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) designed for 780–850 nm lasers, operating at 80 MHz. It uses TeO₂ crystal to diffract and modulate laser beams via sound waves, enabling fast intensity control with rise times as low as 25 ns. Common applications include laser modulation, optical switching, printing, microscopy, and material processing 

The 3910 Series AOM RF Driver delivers up to 8 W of RF power across 45–500 MHz with fast rise times (~4 ns). It modulates acousto-optic devices using digital, analog, or combined inputs, enabling precise control of laser beam intensity or frequency. Used in laser modulation, frequency shifting, optical switching, and driving FiberQ modulators 

A Free-Space Isolator (850 nm, 2.7 mm aperture, 15 W max) allows laser light to pass in one direction while blocking back-reflected beams. It uses a Faraday rotator and polarizers to prevent feedback that could destabilize or damage the laser source. Commonly used in high-power laser setups, LiDAR systems, and optical communication.

A non-polarizing beamsplitter cube (700–1100 nm) splits incoming light into two paths without altering polarization. It uses dielectric coatings on internal surfaces to achieve ~50/50 reflection/transmission across the near-infrared range. Commonly used in interferometry, laser alignment, and optical instrumentation where polarization integrity is critical.

An IR Detector Card (700–1400 nm) visualizes invisible infrared laser beams by converting IR light into visible fluorescence. It uses a phosphor-coated surface that glows when struck by IR radiation. Commonly used for beam alignment, safety checks, and optical system diagnostics in labs and field setups.

TF Mini LiDAR is a compact time-of-flight (ToF) sensor that measures distance by emitting infrared pulses and calculating their return time. It can detect objects from 30 cm to 12 m with high accuracy, using UART or I²C for data output.
