A review of studies on AOTF properties based on different dielectric materials
Acoustooptic Tunable Filters(AOTF) based on different dielectric materials have different properties and applications.At present
the main dielectric materials applied in AOTF in infrared
visible and ultraviolet bands are a-SiO2
TeO2 and TAS.In order to develop better AOTF
researchers are seeking for new birefringent crystal materials to replace a-SiO2 and TAS.This paper reviews and discusses the studies in recent years on TeO2-KDP-
MgF2-and Hg2Cl2-based AOTF.The results show that these materials present more advantages
but also show some deficiencies
so it is necessary to select proper materials in different applications.
