Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to clarify the silicon-germanium dioxide (SiGeO2) and Aluminum Indium Gallium Arsenide (AlInGaAs) based acoustic optic modulators for upgrading transmission performance characteristics. The transient time response of these modulators is analyzed and discussed in detail. The 3-dB modulation signal bandwidth, diffraction signal efficiency, signal rise time, and signal quality factor with minimum data error rates are also considered. The proposed models with silicon-germanium dioxide and Aluminum Indium Gallium Arsenide acoustic optic modulators were compared to the previous model with silicon acoustic optic modulators. The results confirmed the high-performance efficiency of the proposed models when compared to the previous model, in both the lowest transient time response and the highest acoustic optic modulators speed response.

Summary

Introduction

Optical devices are used in optical systems for light beam control and signal processing applications [1,2,3,4]. Modulating an incoming laser light can be achieved with an AOM by varying the amplitude and frequency of acoustic waves traveling through the crystal [27]. Many characteristics, such as laser beam deflection, intensity modulation, phase modulation, and frequency shifting, can all be achieved using the AOM [27]. To describe this acousto-optic effect in crystals, a plane wave analysis can be used to determine the frequency and angular characteristics of the acousto-optic interaction [28,29,30,31].
