Principles and analytical applications of acousto-optic tunable filters, an overview.

Advantages of acousto-optic tunable filters have been exploited to develop novel analytical instruments which are not feasible otherwise. The instrumentation development and unique features of such AOTF based instruments including the multidimensional fluorimeter, the multiwavelength thermal lens spectrometer, the near-infrared spectrometer based on erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), and detectors for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and flow injection analysis (FIA), will be described.
