Two-dimensional spatial imaging based on acoustooptical deflectors

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Two acoustooptical deflectors placed orthogonal to each other allow the scanning of a laser beam in two dimensions without mechanical movement. A complete scan is possible in 50 μs, providing a spatial resolution of 20 × 125 spots. This is used to follow the development of plumes generated by laser vaporization from a surface. Both Na atoms and Pb2 dimers can be monitored by absorption over the lifetime of the plume. The use of a second channel in the transient digitizer allows normalization to correct for variations in laser intensity and deflection efficiencies during the scan. Concentration maps for each can thus be obtained.
