What Does AOTF Stand For?

AOTF stands for Acousto Optic Tunable Filter

The Acousto Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) is an optical device that utilizes acoustic waves to selectively filter and tune wavelengths of light. By applying an acoustic signal to a crystal, the AOTF creates a diffraction grating that can dynamically adjust the transmitted wavelength, making it ideal for applications in spectroscopy, imaging, and telecommunications. Its ability to rapidly switch between wavelengths enhances its versatility in various optical systems.
