Design and Fabrication of Acousto-Optic Devices / Edition 1

by Akis P. Goutzoulis

Overview

This work offers detailed discussions on all aspects of acousto-optic deflectors, modulators and tunable filters, emphasizing hands-on procedures for design, fabrication and testing. It contains previously unpublished treatments of acousto-optic device design and impedance matching, permitting the actual design of real devices and device-matching circuits.

From the Publisher

...this is another important book on acousto-optics in the Optical Engineering Series.

Optical Engineering

...It is perfect for anyone starting out in the field of AO and wishing to obtain "hands-on" material. For those already in the field, it is a handy reference.

Optics & Photonic News

...a valuable source of information.

Optics and Lasers in Engineering

a reference offering a systematic and detailed look at acousto-optic (AO) device design, fabrication, and testing. It includes all the necessary technical information (including proven computer-aided design programs) for the design and manufacture of AO deflectors, modulators, and AO tunable filters (AOTFs). It also includes major contributions by authors from the leading institution of AO technology in the former Soviet Union (St. Petersburg State Academy of Aerospace Instrumentation, formerly known as Leningrad Institute of Aviation Instrumentation). The volume consists of seven chapters and describes the principles of AO, the design of deflectors, modulators, and AOTFs, the design of the transducer structure, the fabrication of AO devices, and the device testing.
