Equal-efficiency diffraction of unpolarized wideband light with acousto-optic filters
Résumé
We present the diffraction of unpolarized light over a broad wavelength range using paratellurite Acousto-Optic Tuneable Filters. The diffraction of unpolarized light usually relies on a specific operating point that is sensitive to the wavelength and angle of incidence, resulting in an operating ability over a narrow bandwidth. We present a detuning strategy to eliminate the angular dependence and obtain equal diffraction efficiency for both the linear polarization states over a broad bandwidth. We explain how to find the optimum operating frequency and present its dependency as a function of the wavelength. With the quasi-phase matching condition presented, the diffraction of unpolarized light over the 400 nm to700 nm band is possible with an efficiency of over 80%.
