Abstract:The diffraction of light through the acoustooptic (AO) and electrooptic (EO) effects can be utilized to perform real-time signal processing functions including convolution, correlation, matched filtering, spectrum analysis, and matrix processing. When the medium used for AO interaction is piezoelectric, both effects can exist simultaneously and this acoustoelectrooptic (AEO) effect may offer increased capabilities for optical signal processing and computation. Both bulk wave and SAW devices have been fabricate… Show more
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.
