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 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...
متن کاملAcousto-optic laser optical feedback imaging.
We present a photon noise and diffraction-limited imaging method combining an imaging laser and ultrasonic waves. The laser optical feedback imaging (LOFI) technique is an ultrasensitive imaging method for imaging objects through or embedded within a scattering medium. However, LOFI performances are dramatically limited by parasitic optical feedback occurring in the experimental setup. In this ...
متن کاملColloquium: Femtosecond optical frequency combs
Recently there has been a remarkable synergy between the technologies of precision laser stabilization and mode-locked ultrafast lasers. This has resulted in control of the frequency spectrum produced by mode-locked lasers, which consists of a regular comb of sharp lines. Thus such a controlled mode-locked laser is a ‘‘femtosecond optical frequency comb generator.’’ For a sufficiently broad com...
متن کاملAll-fiber acousto-optic frequency shifter.
An all-fiber-optic frequency shifter is demonstrated that uses mode coupling between the LP(01) and LP(11) modes by a traveling acoustic flexural wave guided along the optical fiber. The input and output leads of this frequency shifter are single-mode fibers. Unity mode-conversion efficiency for cw operation is achieved at 8-MHz frequency shift with about 0.25 W of electrical input power. Carri...
