Beam deformation within an acousto-optic lens

Abstract: The acousto-optic lens (AOL) is becoming a popular tool in the neuroscience field. Here we analyzed the deformation of the diffraction beam after passage through an AOL consisting of a pair of acousto-optic deflectors using both theoretical and experimental data. The results showed that, because of the high sensitivity of optical spatial frequencies of acousto-optic deflectors, the boundary strength of the diffraction beam of the AOL decreases significantly. When the focal length of AOL diminishes, the deforma… Show more

“…In addition to dispersion, astigmatism also requires compensation when the fast-axis AOD operates in fast scanning mode, during which the AOD performs like a CYL. 32 The equivalent focal length of the CYL can be expressed as Eq. (5) …”
