ABSTRACT:
A light source system includes a beam source generating a first input beam of light with first and second beam components. The first component has a first linear polarization and a first frequency. The second component has a second linear polarization and a second frequency. The first and second linear polarizations are orthogonal. An anisotropic acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is positioned to receive the first input beam. The AOM is operable to change the polarization and frequency of the first and the second beam components in response to a control signal, and thereby generate first and second output beams corresponding to the first and second components, respectively.
