Abstract
An experimental acousto-optic tunable filter that has a narrow spectra l bandwidth (0.2 nm at 1550 nm) and a fast (10-mu s) tuning capability with a continuous tuning range of approximately 50 nm is described. T he tunable filter consists of an acousto-optic beam deflector with a d iffraction grating whose grating vector is transverse to the direction of light propagation.
