  • Abstract
    A new type of noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) suitable for fibre optic communication is described. The AOTF interaction geometry offers the advantages of narrow bandwidth and low drive power. Theoretical analysis of the TeO2 filter shows that optical passband of 1 nm and drive power of 12 mW are obtainable.
