A balloon-borne acousto-optic tunable filter hyperspectral imager is ideally suited to address numerous outstanding questions in planetary science. Their spectral agility, narrowband wavelength ...

Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs) represent a versatile class of optical devices that utilise the interaction between acoustic waves and light within anisotropic crystals to achieve rapid spectral ...

Gooch & Housego has launched two new state of the art RF drivers to complement its extensive range of acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs), providing enhanced performance and extending the overall ...

Acousto-optic devices exploit the interplay between light and sound waves to dynamically control optical signals. By utilising high-frequency acoustic waves, these devices induce periodic refractive ...

We all know that light and sound are wave phenomena, but of very different kinds. Light is electromechanical in nature, while sound is mechanical. Light can travel through a vacuum, while sound needs ...

Tunable laser sources (TLS) can be used by researchers to access a wide range of wavelengths. As a result tuneable light sources are used frequently for the determination of wavelength dependent ...

Narrowband or hyperspectral imaging is a valuable technique used in planetary science for characterizing surfaces and surrounding environments. For example, it can be used to spatially map molecular ...
