Abstract
A report is presented on the realization of an integrated optic RF spectrum analyzer (IOSA) that combines a wideband acoustooptic Bragg cell and a pair of waveguide lenses in ZnO/GaAs/Al/sub 0.15/Ga/sub 0.85/As composite waveguide 7*23 mm/sup 2/ in size. A total of 10 and 40 channels at the center frequencies of 167 MHz and 500 MHz, respectively, and a frequency resolution of 5.5 MHz were realized. The diffraction efficiencies of 11.5%/W and 4.0%/W of RF drive power at the center frequencies of 167 MHz and 500 MHz, respectively, and a dynamic range larger than 16 dB were measured. Further integration of this IOSA (integrated optic spectrum analyzer) with a laser source, a photodetector array, and electronic driving circuits could produce a monolithically integrated optic RF spectrum analyzer. >
