Abstract

An optical oscillator has been designed, constructed, and operated by using a HeNe laser and acousto-optic modulator in conjunction with two opposed fiber optic feedback circuits. Depending on round-trip feedback time, a low frequency ( 1Hz) sinusoidal oscillator or a high frequency (100KHz) square wave (,..%,1 us rise time) is obtained.
