Polarization-independent imaging with an acousto-optic tandem system.

چکیده
We propose a method for filtering convergent light beams with arbitrary polarization. For this purpose, a tandem of similar acousto-optic tunable filters was applied. Owing to the special mutual orientation of the cells, two coincident beams with ordinary and extraordinary polarizations were diffracted by the first crystal and the second crystal, respectively.

Polarization-coupling all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filter insensitive to fiber bend and physical contact.
We show that an all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filter based on polarization mode coupling using torsional acoustic wave is immune to the fiber bend and physical contact in the acousto-optic interaction region. We also propose and demonstrate a novel strain-free and size-reduced tunable filter with a 4-m-long fiber acousto-optic interaction region looped into a 5- cm-diameter coil.
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...

Detection of the tagged or untagged photons in acousto-optic imaging of thick highly scattering media by photorefractive adaptive holography We propose an original adaptive wavefront holographic setup based on the photorefractive effect (PR), to make real-time measurements of acousto-optic signals in thick scattering media, with a high flux collection at high rates for breast tumor detection.

متن کاملCrosstalk Analysis of an Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter Based Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer for DWDM System
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system is limited by different impairments like optical attenuation, crosstalk, chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, Scattering etc. All of these impairments restrict the transmission distance and bandwidth. In the Present Scenario the DWDM system needs significant improvement, where analyzing the crosstalk of an Acousto-Optic Tunable...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a High-Speed Solid-State Acousto-Optic Interference Pattern Projector for Three-Dimensional Imaging
A novel method of projecting interference patterns using acousto-optics has been developed and implemented in the context of the Accordion Fringe Interferometry (AFI) three-dimensional measurement technique developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. AFI is an active technique that relies on projecting interference fringes and triangulation to recover range information. AFI is suitable for a wide rang...
