Rapid tuning of a dye laser over a large wavelength range has been achieved by inserting an acoustooptic deflector between the dye cell and a diffraction grating. The deflector and grating combination serve as the tuning element. TeO(2), which has an anomalously low sound velocity, has been used to demonstrate acoustooptical tuning over a broad spectral range. Theoretically, tuning rates greater than 100 nm/microsec can be achieved over a wavelength range of up to 35 nm. The experimental data have been used to verify the analytical aspects of the beam deflector and diffraction grating configuration.
通过在染料池和衍射光栅之间插入一个声光偏转器，实现了染料激光器在大波长范围内的快速调谐。该偏转器和光栅组合用作调谐元件。具有异常低声速的TeO₂已被用于演示在宽光谱范围内的声光调谐。理论上，在高达35 nm的波长范围内可以实现大于100 nm/微秒的调谐速率。实验数据已被用于验证光束偏转器和衍射光栅配置的分析方面。
