The acoustooptic interaction technique provides good sensitivity when measuring parameters of singlemode or few-mode fibers: dispersion curves, radius, or core refractive indices (both linear and nonlinear) can be determined by means of this tool with accuracy. The basics of the technique rely on its resonant character: as a parameter of the fiber changes, the optical wavelength that fulfills the acousto-optic phase-matching condition shifts. The measurement of the acousto-optic phase matching curve provides information about the sensitivity of the technique as a function of variations of different parameters of the fiber. Such measurements can be performed in a broadband spectral range, using a single section of fiber of some tens of cm. In this paper, we report the measurement in detail of the acousto-optic dispersion curves for the couplings LP01-LP1,1-4, in the optical range 1.0-2.0 μm. From these data, we characterize the sensitivity of the technique for the measurement of the core radius, external radius and numerical aperture of the fiber, especially around the turning point of the phase-matching curve for the acousto-optic coupling.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"1 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":"128043588","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 bulk of passive atmospheric remote sensing instruments remains divided into two families: those relying on interferometric techniques (mostly for the long-wave absorbing species), and those based on diffraction gratings (better suited for UV-VIS absorbing species). Still, AOTFs have some unique features which should deserve more attention, in particular their angular acceptance, and their polarization sensitivity. The first one because it allows to work in an imaging setup, the second because many atmospheric processes have a polarizing effect. In this paper, we will present different AOTF-based instrument concepts (or even prototypes) which take advantage of these features in order to improve the sate-of-the-art of measurement techniques in several fields of atmospheric science. We will first present the improved NO2 camera: its new capabilites, the subsystems which have been changed, and some preliminary results. Then, we will discuss two other potential applications: the study of the solar spectral irradiance variability in the UV, and the detection of auroral polarized emissions. For each concept, we will discuss the current challenges faced by the existing instruments, and analyze how the use of AOTFs could overcome them. A suggestion for the AOTF selection will be made, and the expected instrument performance will be estimated.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"88 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":"115405390","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}

They grant high precision and flexibility, though, the throughput of these processes is constrained by their inherent point-scanning nature. An effective solution to this problem is beam parallelization, though, current implementations suffer from lack of flexibility, long response time or optical aberrations. In order to overcome these issues, we propose an original acousto-optofludic (AOF) device that exploits mechanical vibrations in a liquid to diffract light in a comb of multiple beams. In this work, we detail design, implementation, and optical characterization of AOF-based multi-focal laser system. In particular, we show that the main features of the acoustically generated beamlets can be tuned by properly varying frequency, amplitude, and phase of the mechanical oscillations. The application of this device to laser direct writing will enable high throughput processes of various materials in an highly tunable way.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"13 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":"116493303","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}

It was found that optical quality of a filtered image is influenced by a spectral bandwidth of a filter. The spectral bandwidth is determined by a length of piezoelectric transducer that generates ultrasonic waves in an acousto-optic cell. The dependence of a number of resolvable spots on the piezotransducer length was examined theoretically.
