ACOUSTO-OPTICS ANALYZERS OF SPECTRAL COMPOSITION OF THE OPTICAL AND RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION BASED ON THE HIGHERORDER BRAGG’S RESONANCES

Abstract

The results of studies of characteristics of acousto-optics spectrum analyzers of radiation in the optical and radio ranges based on the use of Bragg resonances of the first and second orders are showed. The characteristics of acoustooptics devices using the first and second diffraction orders are showed to depend differently on the parameters of acoustooptics interaction because the selection of optical and radio signals is based on different principles of acousto-optics interaction.

Key words: acousto-optics, spectral analysis of optical and radio signals
