High-speed acousto-optic shutter with no optical frequency shift.
Acousto-optic modulators are widely used for rapid switching and shuttering of laser beams. In many applications, the concomitant frequency shift is undesirable and must be compensated for elsewhere in the system. Here we present a simple method of achieving rapid laser power switching without an accompanying laser frequency shift. The demonstrated acousto-optic shutter achieves a switching tim...
متن کاملHigh-speed, acousto-optically addressed optical memory.
A page-oriented, angle-multiplexed volume holographic optical-memory recording system has been constructed. This memory is addressed by the use of an acousto-optic deflector with a random-access time of 16 µs per page. This enables data transfer rates of 5.28 Gbits/s when pages of binary data are being stored. The reconstruction quality of images stored as memory pages is assessed with the qual...
متن کاملOptical phase shifting with acousto-optic devices.
A novel optical phase-shifting method based on a well-known acousto-optic interaction is proposed. By using a pair of acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) and properly aligning them, we construct an optical phase shifter that can directly control the phase of a collimated beam. The proposed phase shifter is insensitive to the polarization of the incident beam when polarization-insensitive AOMs are u...
متن کاملHigh-frequency acousto-optic effects in Bragg reflectors.
Picosecond acoustic interferometry was used to study the acousto-optic properties of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) manufactured from two immiscible polymers (cellulose acetate and polyvinylcarbyzole). Picosecond strain pulses were injected into the structure and changes in its reflectance were monitored as a function of time. The reflectance exhibited single-frequency harmonic oscillation...
متن کاملAcousto-optic-assisted diffuse optical tomography.
We introduce and experimentally demonstrate acousto-optic-assisted diffuse optical tomography (DOT) using a holography-based acousto-optic setup. The method is based on probing a scattering medium with a localized acoustical modulation of the phase of the scattered light. The optical properties of the scattering medium are recovered with ultrasound-limited resolution by applying DOT reconstruct...
