Photorefractive integrator characterization

We describe recent results from our efforts in characterizing a photorefractive device to be used as a time integrator in the Acousto-optic Null Steering Processor. This processor is being developed for the ARPA Transition of Optical Processing to Systems Program under Rome Laboratory contract F30602-91-C-0044. We present frequency response data for the BSO crystals which were measured using a novel acousto-optic apparatus. We also present measured dynamic range data for the candidate BSO crystals.© (1994) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
