Fibre compatible fast acousto-optic modulator using a gradient index lens as the interaction medium

A novel fiber-compatible acousto-optic modulator is described in which the interaction between the optical and acoustic waves occurs in a graded-index lens which can also function as an "expanded-beam" fiber-to-fiber connector in the case of a half-pitch device, or as a collimator in the c...
