Customer wrote:
I am currently working on several multi-spectral imaging programs and am 
considering the use of an AOTF for spectral filtering. We are currently in the 
feasibility evaluation/systems engineering stage and would like to understand 
what is currently available and what might be available with further 
development. I am working primarily in the mid wave (3-5um). 
Since this is an imaging application, we are interested in relatively large 
aperture size and modest spectral resolution.
Please send me detailed specifications as well as your price and delivery 
information.
