Summary :

A new acousto-optic tunable filter utilizing collinear acousto-optic interaction along the direction near to the optic axis is proposed and demonstrated by using LiNbO3 crystal. This near axis interaction lowers the driving frequency and also expands the angular aperture in the ordinary plane. The acousto-optic figure of merit M2 (p2v3) of this filter is 7.510-18 sec3/g and tuning from 700 nm to 420 nm can be obtained by changing the acoustic frequency from 56 MHz to 119 MHz. At 514.5 nm the filter bandwidth of 1.1 nm and the angular aperture of about 6 in the ordinary plane have been obtained.
