Photorefractive acoustoelectro-optic correlator

An optical correlator based on acoustoelectro-optic interaction is proposed. The device is experimentally demonstrated with a LiNbO3 crystal in which acoustic waves are launched by a piezoelectric transducer and electric fields are established through the photorefractive effect

Acousto-electro-optic light modulation

The acousto-electro-optic effect is analyzed and demonstrated experimentally. The application of the acousto-electro-optic effect to light modulation and deflection is discussed

Volume holographic interconnections with maximal capacity and minimal cross talk

Optical interconnections utilizing volume holography are described. Intrinsic cross-talk effects that limit the number of independent interconnections are identified and analyzed by applying coupled-wave analysis. Sampling grids for removing the first-order cross talk are presented, resulting in a system limited by second- and third-order cross talk only
