Paper Abstract
Both EO and AO modulators can be used to extend the spectral coverage of CO2 lasers in the 9 - 11 micrometers region. For laser radar local oscillator application, the spectral purity of the frequency shifter output must be high and can be achieved with an AO frequency shifter using a special modulator configuration and a molecular absorption technique. A 500 MHz AO frequency shifter was designed, tested and shown to have a high spectral purity at an output power level of over 50 mW with a conversion efficiency of a few percent.
