声光调制光谱相机的成像漂移

研究了基于声光可调滤波机理的光谱相机在成像时由声光晶体的色散而产生的图像漂移现象。利用色散补偿法和图像位移补偿法,理论计算并实验测量了声光可调滤波器（AOTF）在可见光（488～644 nm）波段内由晶体外衍射角所引起的图像漂移,并进行了优化实验。采用色散补偿法,调整入射光为准平行光,入射光波长为488～644 nm时,在晶体出射面添加0.6°的光楔,晶体外衍射角的变化量可由0.066 50°降低到0.004 2°,即图像漂移量由162.1μm降低到10.9μm;采用图像位移补偿法,不添加光楔,入射光波长为488～644 nm时,图像水平漂移量可从468μm降低到0.658μm,漂移量在一个像元内。实验表明：基于提出的两种方法可忽略成像漂移对图像的影响,有效提高了基于AOTF机理的光谱相机的成像分辨率。

In this paper, the interaction curves of acoustic and optical waves in a non-collinear AOTF (acousto-optic tunable filter) cell under the parallel-tangent momentum matching condition are analyzed systematically. A new theory of equivalent point for AOTF design is put forward. The wavelength characteristics and the wavelength resolution of two diffraction beams with equivalent point design in AOTF are emphatically analyzed. The optical characteristics at δ = 0 (ideal case) and δ≠0 (real case) are also discussed. The advantages of the AOTF with equivalent point design include high wavelength resolution, more quantitative energy and larger incident angle aperture.

Spectral characteristics of non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filters

The bandpass width and the diffraction efficiency of a non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filter are considered as functions of the optical wavelength for fixed values of the direction of propagation of the optic wave, the length of the acousto-optic interaction and the power density of the controlling RF-signal. A comparison between the calculated and the experimentally measured spectral dependencies is discussed and illustrated from the viewpoint of practical application for a TeO₂ filter. It is shown that in the approximation used, satisfactory agreement can be achieved between the experimental and calculated dependencies.     

Feasibility of Non-Collinear TeO2 Acoustic-Optic Tunable Filters Used in the Optical Communication

The characteristics and the structure of TeO2 acoustic-optic tunable filter used in communication are discussed briefly based on the acoustic-optic theory and it is shown that a large optical incident angle and a long interaction length are suitable for the optical add/drop multiplexer based on the TeO2 acoustic-optic tunable filter. The distribution of acoustic energy flow in the device supports the large optical incident angle. The long interaction length depends on the change of the device structure to some degree. The measured results of the samples show that the diffraction efficiency reaches at 96% in the tuning range larger than lOOnm and the bandwidth is about 2nm. It can be found that there is a good consistency with the basic theoretical mode. The optimized design result shows that the diffraction efficiency can arrive at 100%, and the bandwidth can be less than 0.4nm. Thus, the non-collinear TeO2 acoustic-optic tunable filter can play an important role in the coming general optical network.     

Multiple parameter tuning of the bandwidth, wavelength and attenuation of a fiber-based acousto-optic tunable filter

In this paper we presented a method, which will allow multiple parameter control of the 3-dB bandwidth, center notch wavelength and attenuation level in a fiber-based acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF). The method basically involves the variation of the interaction length, RF frequency and RF power on a single-fiber device to achieve multiple parameters tuning of the optical filter. The acousto-optic (AO) interaction inside a single-mode fiber (SMF) was studied theoretically and experimentally.     

Design and analysis of a noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter

The design of the noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is commonly based on the parallel tangents momentum-matching condition. Previous studies either have used an approximation of the birefringence of the interaction material or have ignored the rotatory property of TeO(2). These approaches would obviously decrease the accuracy of designing an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF). We introduce an analysis method of calculating the optimum incident optical angle. Besides, an appropriate optical wedge on the output optical facet is designed to reduce the wavelength dependence of the diffracted beam angle, which is very significant in practical applications of AOTF.     

Design of the bandpass width, the spectral resolution and the diffraction efficiency of a non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filter of TeO2

The spectral dependencies of the bandpass width, the spectral resolution and the diffraction efficiency of a non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filter of TeO₂ are designed by the method proposed by Chang. The effect of four parameters (the directions of propagation of the acoustic and optic waves, the length of acousto-optic interaction and the power density of the controlling RF-signal) on the filter spectral characteristics is discussed and illustrated from the point of view of practical application. An example of filter design using these dependencies is presented.     

Acousto-optic filter of nonpolarized electromagnetic radiation

An acousto-optic tunable filter that is insensitive to the polarization of incident light is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The fundamental possibility of designing an acousto-optic filter of nonpolarized light is demonstrated. The filter operates in the visible range of electromagnetic waves with λ=480–750 nm and provides a high spatial and temporal resolution. The number of resolvable spots of the filtered image reaches a value of 400×400 with the spectral bandwidth of the device being Δλ=1.7 nm. The results of the processing of optical images formed by arbitrarily polarized light beams are discussed. An acousto-optic filter based on a TeO₂ crystal can be used in optics and spectroscopy in the processing of light beams with an arbitrary polarization, as well as in analyzing optical images formed by light beams whose polarization varies with time.
