Abstract: | Collinear acousto-optic spectrometers with sound consisting of one frequency have a spectral transfer function with many good characteristics, such as a narrow bandwidth, ... the side lobes, however, are rather high. To reduce these side lobes, one can try to apodize the sound in the acousto-optic cell by using a sound wave consisting out of two frequencies. At certain times, this produces a more smoothened sound field in the cell than in the one-frequency case. The resulting transfer function will contain lower side lobes. Also, the influence of all the sound field parameters--the amplitude, frequency difference, and time--on the transmission function is studied. Out of these results, better-performing collinear spectrometers can be designed. |
