The global Acousto-Optic Mode Lockers (AOML) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 134 million in 2025 to US$ 238 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2025 to 2031.
An acousto-optic mode locker (AOML) is a specialized modulator operating within the laser cavity to actively control the loss and induce a fixed-phase relationship between multiple longitudinal modes of the laser cavity. The loss it introduces may be very small, but it need only be enough to preferentially select specific modes.
The number of active modes of a laser will depend both on its gain medium and on the cavity length, but they may not be in phase. A mode locker operating at a frequency synchronized with the round trip time of the laser cavity will allow only those modes which are in phase to build up and interfere constructively, thus generating high intensity pulses at a well-defined repetition rate. To achieve mode locking, the laser cavity mode spacing frequency (length) must be equal to twice the acoustic frequency of the mode locker.
Growing Demand for Ultrafast Lasers: Ultrafast lasers, which include mode-locked lasers, are crucial in various applications like precision machining, medical imaging, and scientific research. AOML is essential in achieving and maintaining mode locking, hence driving demand.
Precision Material Processing: Applications such as micromachining, material ablation, and femtosecond laser surgery require ultrafast lasers. AOML helps in achieving stable and precise mode-locked pulses, which are critical for these applications.
Advancements in AOML Technology: Continuous advancements in AOML technology, including improved efficiency, better stability, and compatibility with various laser types, drive its adoption in the market.
