ABSTRACT:
A multi-channel acousto-optic spectrometer employs a multi-channel Bragg cell, Fourier transform imaging optics and two-dimensional charge coupled device photodetector array to simultaneously process a plurality of parallel channels of respectively adjacent frequency bands of a wideband radio frequency signal. The signal modulation and optical transmission characteristics of the spectrometer are such that the respective acousto-optic channels to which the respective sub-bands portions of the signal are applied do not interfere with one another and are imaged upon closely spaced regions of the two-dimensional photodetector array. The opto-electronic responses of the respective imaging regions of the array are transferred from an imaging area of the photodetector array, upon which a multi-channel acousto-optically modulated light beam is projected by the spectrometer's Fourier transform-imaging optics, to a non-imaging area of the photodetector array, so as to permit a new spectrometer input signal to be imaged onto the two-dimensional photodetector array. The contents of each frequency channel of a respective sub-band are then transferred in parallel to an output accumulator register, which is read out serially and digitized for application to downstream signal processing and display circuitry.
