Abstract :
Wavelength division demultiplexing using acousto-optic cells as dynamic diffraction gratings is proposed. The system has the advantage of high resolution relatively low insertion loss, tunability for a wide range of wavelengths, and tunability for the intensity variation of the deflected beams. Analysis of the demultiplexing system for five channels in the 0.8 μm region is discussed and computer simulation results are presented
