  Design and manufacturing of acousto-optic devices and associated radio-frequency drivers.

• Acousto-Optical Effect: Deflectors

  http://www.mt-berlin.com/frames_ao/descriptions/ao_deflectors.htm
  Optical deflectors are intended for the spatial control of optical beams.

• Acousto-Optical Filters

  http://www.mt-berlin.com/frames_ao/descriptions/ao_filters.htm
  The principle of operation of these filters is based on the dependence of the diffracted light wavelength on the acoustic frequency. This article considers non-collinear filters based on a single TeO2 crystal.
