Any product sheet of such a commercially available AOTF presents two main features: the tuning range and the spectral bandwidth Δλ. The spectral transmission bandwidth1 is proportional to the ratio λ2 /(bW) where λ is the optical wavelength, b the dispersive constant and W the length of the transducer. The dispersive constant b is a rapidly decreasing function of the wavelength in the blue visible spectrum. As for examples: for a one octave tuning range starting from 400 nm to 800 nm, the spectral bandwidth is multiplied by ~10. For a tuning range in the infrared band 1250-2500 nm, the spectral bandwidth is multiplied by ~4. We present the design of a filter operating in the visible region from 450 nm to 650 nm. A double anisotropic interaction2 is considered allowing the simultaneous diffraction of the two optical modes propagating into the crystal by a single ultrasonic wave. A multi-electrode array of three identical consecutive electrodes Wi:1-3 = 3 mm is deposited on the transducer leading to a more precise control of the spectral bandwidth. The acousto-optic device has been fabricated by the AA-Opto company. With this component the spectral bandwidth is only multiplied by ~2 on from 400 nm to 650 nm.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114675777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional white light endoscopy often does not provide contrast visualization of the inspected objects and quantitative characterization of their differences. In these cases, spectral imaging techniques may be helpful to increase the effectiveness of endoscopic inspection. Acoustooptic (AO) filtration of light is a very promising technique for implementing spectral imaging capabilities. In this paper, we discuss the peculiarities and benefits of conjugating AO tunable filters (AOTF) with rigid borescopes, flexible fiberscopes and video endoscopes. We analyze and compare imaging and spectroscopy capabilities of two alternative technical implementations: AOTF-based tunable light sources and AOTF-based add-on imaging modules. The results of this analysis are confirmed by multiple experiments.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114854187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assumed geometry in this theory resembles an interferometer wherein ultrasonic beam plays a role of the output beam splitter of the light. The output light intensity is modulated with ultrasonic frequency as a result of interference between the light in diffraction orders in which the frequency is changed due to the Doppler effects with those diffracted with unchanged frequency. Temporal modulation of the light intensities in diffraction orders, that was foreseen by Leroy and Blomme, was confirmed experimentally and the results will be presented. In addition, the Leroy-Blomme theory has been extended to include the effect of the initial phase of the ultrasonic wave on the phase of modulation of light intensity in diffraction orders. According to the best knowledge of the author, Leroy and Blomme theory has not been verified experimentally, although many years have passed. This theory could be applied to the quantum optics phenomenon when pairs of entangled photons are incident on ultrasonic wave instead of two coherent light beams. The geometry of interaction of two coherent light beams with ultrasonic wave in Leroy-Blomme theory is the same as for Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer wherein a beam splitter is replaced by the ultrasonic wave. Similarities and differences between Leroy-Blomme and Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometers will be presented.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128808345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

N. Brillouin whose anniversaries the 130 years of his birthday and the 50 years of his death are being celebrated during the current year. The next principles were widely developed by many others in 1930’s after essential two independent papers by P. Debye and F. W. Sears (USA) and R. Lucas and P. Biquard (France), then fundamentals by C.V. Raman and N. S. Nagendra Nath, followed by many papers and applications after the II World War. The wide and rich literature of the subject of the last 100 years built up a branch of knowledge to which a piece of contribution of the AO and A Schools has its own place. The further development of the branch is prospective, too.

It is established that the effect of angular shift of geometry due to the dispersion of directions of biaxial crystal optical axes on the interaction characteristics, in this case, is much less distinct than for the wide-aperture filter in the region of small Bragg angles.
