Abstract

An acousto-optical spectrometer has been constructed using a visible laser diode light source. The advantages of a visible laser diode in this application over the more prevalent infrared laser diodes are discussed. These include increased Bragg cell bandwidth and diffraction efficiency, and easier instrumental alignment, the latter allowing the attainment of much lower scattered light levels.
