Abstract
The acousto-optic (AO) and electro-optic (EO) effects can be combined to produce an acoustoelectro-optic (AEO) signal processing device. The AEO device has been fabricated on lithium niobate crystals which, like most optical signal processing crystals, are anisotropic. Because of the anisotropic nature of the crystal, the signal processing capabilities of the device are enhanced or decreased if the device is constructed in different orientations relative to the optical crystal's own principal axes. Therefore it is of interest to optimize the device-crystal orientation in reference to the optical signal processing to be performed. A method to accomplish this task using computerized nonlinear optimization and nonlinear system analysis techniques is to be explained. The method will be shown to be extremely versatile as to the type of optical signal processing to be optimized. Results of this research optimizing the EO effect in the AEO device will be examined.
