The effect of temperature on a wide-angle paratellurite acousto-optic tunable filter is analyzed on the example of two different acousto-optic tunable filter configurations. The acousto-optic tunable filter operation was between -50°C to +40°C; Also the survival of an acousto-optic tunable filter device at -130°C was demonstrated. The phase matching ultrasound frequency varies with temperature. We link this temperature shift to photoelastic characteristics of the TeO2. A generalization is made for all wide-angle acousto-optic tunable filters based on TeO2 crystal. In addition, the temperature influence on the acoustic walk off angle was examined. |
