چکیده
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 quality achieved with the acousto-optic device compared with that achieved with the original recording optics.

Acousto-Optic Tunable Filters Spectrally Modulate Light
The development of opt electronic technology in the past two decades has intensified research on devices that control and manipulate optical radiation. Acousto-optic devices are based on acousto-optic effects in which the optical medium is altered by the presence of ultrasound. Examples of acousto-optic devices include optical modulators, deflectors, scanners, Q-switches, isolators, and frequen...
متن کاملNear-infrared spectropolarimetry based on acousto-optical tunable filters.
A new approach to near-infrared (NIR) spectropolarimetry is described, in which the properties of a noncollinear acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) made of an anisotropic crystal of TeO2 is employed to produce a novel instrument that precludes or reduces significantly the use of mechanical parts and simplifies the acquisition of optical rotation spectra of absorbing species in the NIR region...
متن کاملHigh Power 1443.5 nm Laser with Nd:YAG Single Crystal Fiber
A high-power eye-safe 1443.5 nm laser was demonstrated with an Nd:YAG single crystal fiber (SCF) as the gain medium. For continuous wave (CW) operation, a maximum output power of 13.3 W was obtained under an absorbed pump power of 95.0 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 14.0%. For acousto-optically (AO) Q-switched regime, an output power of 1.95 W was obtained at...
متن کاملFrequency and angular bandwidth of acousto-optic deflectors with ultrasonic walk-off.
In the paper, bandwidth parameters of acousto-optical deflectors (AODs) are analyzed from the point of view of acoustical anisotropy. Equations for bandwidth and central frequency of AOD are derived for arbitrary propagation direction of ultrasound in optically uniaxial crystals. The phenomenon of bandwidth shift due to phase mismatch at the central frequency is studied theoretically and verifi...
متن کاملAnalog time-reversed ultrasonically encoded light focusing inside scattering media with a 33,000× optical power gain
Recent breakthrough in wavefront engineering shows great promises in controlling light propagation inside scattering media. At present, the digital approaches enjoy high gain, while their speeds are slow because of high data throughputs. In contrast, the analog approaches are intrinsically fast but suffer from poor efficiencies and small gains. Further improvements in both speed and gain are ne...
