The effects of angular dispersion introduced by the acousto-optic modulator on the temporal
characteristics of the pulse are measured by autocorrelating the output from the pulse
shaper. The time duration of the output pulses were measured to be thirty times shorter than
pulses produced with a constant frequency amplitude waveform. This approach acts to
mitigate angular dispersion in Bragg-regime acousto-optic devices, thus affording the ability …
