Abstract :
Self-collimating modes in acousto-optics utilize the anisotropy of the crystalline AO material to create collimated acoustic beams. Self-collimating modes are particularly useful in multichannel Bragg cell devices where it is desirable to have a high packing density of channels to utilize the full two-dimensional capability of optical signal processing. We have designed, fabricated, and tested two new 16-channel self-collimating mode TeO2 multichannel Bragg cells
