Compact Bulk Acousto-Optic Time Integrating Correlator

摘要

This report describes the design and testing of a prototype correlator using lead molybdate Bragg cells. It indicates the suitability of this design for cells made of materials with longer transition times, such as tellurium dioxide. Compactness and simplicity are achieved by the use of a specially designed prism: An analysis of the AO, TIC process and performance parameters is given.
