Abstract
A multiple channel fiber pigtailed acousto-optic (AO) device comprises: a first multiple fiber collimator pigtail comprising a plurality of input fibers, a second multiple fiber collimator pigtail comprising a plurality of output fibers, wherein each of the plurality of output fibers is a conjugate of each of the plurality of input fibers, respectively, and an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) disposed between the first multiple fiber collimator pigtail and the second multiple fiber collimator pigtail, wherein the input fibers form input ports providing input beams to the AOM and the output fibers form output ports receiving output beams from the AOM, wherein at least one output fiber of the plurality of output fibers is coupled to an input fiber of the plurality of input fibers.
