Here a large deflection angle, low optical frequency-shift acousto-optic device is presented. This is realized by two successive acousto-optic interactions in the same cell. The relevant parameters of operation are analyzed in detail. A practical case with paratellurite material is then considered. Results from numerical computations leading to practical design parameters are given and compared with experimental ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
