Chen Suchao, Liu Bo, Wu Xiaomin. A review of studies on AOTF properties based on different dielectric materials[J]. 2011,(5):56-59. DOI: 10.13756/j.gtxyj.2011.05.007.
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.
