Worse comes to worse, you can send it to me and I can sweep it on the bench, I have the needed programmable RF generators, reflectometer, and RF amp...

First thing to do is sweep it looking for the region where the matching network reflects the least RF, using no more then say 10 mW of RF.... Then comes the tricky part.. Just having a VNA setup does not guarantee you'll hit the sweet spot on the RF... Then it gets aligned with an Argon and adjusted for peak laser with minimum RF. Make sure you mark the orientation of the crystal relative to the Brewster windows on the MG, hopefully there were no mirrors between the laser and the crystal to rotate the polarization. Yes, they are very polarization sensitive.,. If I remember right CTI made them using channel bands anywhere from 40 to 170 Mhz...

Gooch and Housego bought the corporate remains, so I'm told, as Siemens only wanted the Lithium Niobate side of the business... You can ask there...
!
Keep in mind, its a multi-channel AOTF to non-laserists...
!
You don't need the exact frequencies, unless your using crystal oscillators as the sources, or looking for a factory driver... You just need to determine the band the RF matching network is tuned for. With programmable frequency sources, you just need N PLLs or DDS boards, N doubly balanced mixers as modulators, and a wideband RF amp...
