ABSTRACT:
A light source system includes a beam source generating a first input beam of light. An anisotropic acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is positioned to receive the first input beam. The AOM includes a plurality of transducers for receiving control signals and generating corresponding acoustic waves that operate on the first input beam to generate first and second output beams with different frequencies and orthogonal linear polarizations. The first and second output beams have a combined optical power that is substantially the same as an optical power of the first input beam for a first input beam with one polarization and for a first input beam with two polarizations.
