Abstract :
The paper presents the results of an investigation concerning the dynamic range in an interferometric acousto-optic phase processor. Interaction between the laser light and acoustic waves results in the appearance of an interference image. There are factors which have influence on the light intensity of the interference image. Experimental results are presented for the following operating conditions of the acousto-optic phase processor-normal operating conditions, the effect of CCD camera saturation, low signals
