Abstract :
We present details of operating principles of several acousto-optic components, along with their potential applications. The components include an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF), equalizing optical filter for fiber amplifiers based on AOTF, a tunable attenuator, and also a tunable non-reciprocal comb filter.
