Abstract
The invention is directed to an acousto-optic dispersive light analyzer (AODLF) which is an electronically adjustable spectroscopic device capable of instantaneously monitoring many wavelengths with a fixed drive frequency. The AODLF has about a one octave range, whose center is selected by changing the RF. The resolution of the AODLF in the infrared is several thousand, and it is electronically adjustable. The acousto-optic device according to this invention is particularly useful for the detection and analysis of short light pulses.
