摘要
The measurements of the information on the carrier frequency can be realized by the acousto-optic deflection effects. However, when the multi-radio frequency signals are simultaneously input to the acousto-optic deflector, the intermodulation between the signals will be generated in the Bragg regime. It causes great difficulties to signal detecting, especially interference from the third-order intermodulation is particularly serious. In response to the intermodulation interference coming from the acousto-optic diffraction, the conditions of generating intermodulation, diffraction distribution, and frequency spectrum are discussed on the basis of the principle of the interaction of the acousto-optic diffraction. Through theoretical analysis, the methods and measures by which the phenomenon of the intermodulation can be reduced are proposed. In order to verify the degree of intermodulation interference in the detection of multi-frequency signals, a test system is constructed. By way of experimental analysis, the conclusion that the intermodulation interferences can be reduced effectively by controlling drive power of radio frequency (RF) properly to ensure that acousto-optic deflector works in linear regions is drawn, when diffraction efficiency in the effective bandwidth of acousto-optic deflector is fixed.
