Optical shutter

An optical shutter controls the transmission of low-power imaging light in optical systems at high speed. It selectively blocks or allows light to pass for precise timing and exposure control. These shutters deliver continuous high-speed modulation and enhance low-power safety. Their features make them valuable applications for spectroscopy, microscopy, cameras, and imaging systems.
