Plenty of OFC generation methods and practical application concepts were proposed in recent decade. Among the generation methods are several based on acousto-optic (AO) interaction application. In this paper we theoretically examine new OFC generation method based on joint use of collinear AO diffraction and frequency-shifting loop. This method gives two novel OFC generation schemes. The first one contains collinear AO cell driven by radio-frequency (RF) generator and optical loop connecting optical output and input of the AO cell. The second one includes not only the optical loop but also the optoelectronic feedback connecting the optical output of the system with the piezoelectric transducer of the AO cell. In this case the system operates above the self-excitation threshold without RF generator. Both systems were examined theoretically, it was discovered that they give the possibility to generate OFC’s in several ways. The switching between them is realized by mutual reorientation of a pair of polarizers placed before and behind the AO cell and achromatic half-wave plate included in the optical feedback loop. It is shown that the parameters OFCs obtained in the system with only optical feedback are determined by AO cell material, RF generator signal frequency and magnitude, optical loss and amplification. The system with both optic and electronic feedback gives the unique opportunity to obtain chirped OFCs.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"613 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":"116319890","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 carried out research was related to analysis of acoustic, optic and acousto-optic properties of the single crystal KRS-5 that is a solid solution of thallium halides. The material is considered as a medium for applications in infrared acousto-optic devices providing laser beam control. In our analysis, we determined acoustic properties of the material. The values of acoustic phase velocities and their polarization directions were determined for acoustic modes propagating along in the directions [100], [110] and [111]. We also determined the velocities and polarizations of the acoustic waves in the planes (001) and (1 1 0) of the material. In the basic experiment, we used the slow shear acoustic wave propagating along the direction [100] and having the phase velocity value V= 890 m/s. One of the principal goals of the research was directed to experimental confirmation of a possibility to induce birefringence in the cubic material. We managed to induce the birefringence applying an external static pressure to the crystal. Varying the pressure, we controlled the birefringence and obtained difference in magnitudes of the refraction indexes up to Δn =3.5·10-4 . Typical regimes of anisotropic acousto-optic interaction in the birefringent medium were observed. The theoretical results were confirmed by experiments including laser probing of acoustic beams and analysis of Schaefer-Bergmann diagrams. The carried out investigation confirmed the conclusion that the single crystal KRS-5 is a promising material for the applications in the infrared acousto-optic devices.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"6 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":"132170730","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}

However, their operation range is limited to visible and near-infrared wavelengths due to quadratic law of efficiency decrease of acousto-optical interaction with the wavelength increase. Besides, high-quality acousto-optic materials such as TeO2 are non-transparent at wavelengths larger than 5 µm, while the infrared optical materials provide significantly lower acousto-optic quality. Here we demonstrate how these limitations could be overcome by applying of specifically designed multilayered structures with electromagnetic modes strongly coupled to the incident light using Otto configuration of prism coupling. Such approach could be used for a novel acousto-optical device operating at 8-14 μm wavelengths. Acoustic wave is excited via a piezoelectric transducer in the prism provides modulation of the coupling intensity which results in up to 100% modulation of the transmitted light at the spatial scale less than the ultrasound wavelength. Therefore, it provides the possibility to achieve efficient acousto-optical modulation at frequencies over several gigahertz.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"87 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":"124918899","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}

Particularly, light interacts with a sound-induced spatially distributed. Post-interaction, diffracted light can be analyzed for different purposes. Although acousto-optics has been studied for decades, practical devices applying its principles are relatively recent. Here, experimental and technical procedures are used to obtain the transfer function of an acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) based system used as a hyper-spectral photometer. The reflectance responses at given wavelengths are measured and adjusted from a commercially available color pattern set, while typically, those values are set up manually. We propose a semiautomatic strategy to calibrate as a single black box all components of the system including: the light source, the signal generator power with its frequency-amplitude deviation from the full radio frequency set point, the radio-frequency amplifier, the transmission lines, the piezoelectric impedance, and the filter's own transfer function among others. To achieve that, we explored the capability of neural networks with deep learning. The system's input is reflectance data measured with a spectrophotometer at wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm with a step of 10 nm. Then, the AOTF system was used to gather reflectance data from those color pattern tiles from 400 to 700 nm with a step of 1 nm. Both reflectance datasets were adjusted using the proposed deep learning neural network. Results show that it is possible to calibrate an AOTF system by using ceramic tile color patterns and measuring reference reflectance values with a spectrophotometer in the visible range. Furthermore, a neural network can be trained to learn the compensation values, deriving trustable spectral information with a better wavelength resolution.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"7 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":"116170773","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}
