Tunable Acoustic Gradient Technology: USING SOUND TO SHAPE LIGHT

www.tagoptics.com

CORE CAPABILITIES

The TAG Lens is a tunable ultra high-speed device that uses sound to change the property of light giving it the ability to rapidly change focal lengths in sub micro-second.

REAL-TIME MULTIPLANE & 3D IMAGING ¾  Non-synchronized operation provides a range of

extended focus leading to high depth-of-field ¾  TAG can be turned on or off in microseconds

HIGH SPEED VARIABLE FOCUS (MHz) ¾  Synchronizing the TAG Lens enables

selection any desired focal length ¾  Sub-microsecond shifts in timing allows one

to rapidly change the focal length

Easy to use, it can be operated from the USB output of a portable computer. Adding a wealth of functionality, the TAG Lens can operate on its own or easily be incorporated into existing optical setups and devices enabling the development of novel types of imaging or processing.

The TAG Lens is designed and optimized to harness small density changes in fluids caused by sound.
