Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: an acousto-optic device including an acoustic transducer and configured to store a plurality of design specific parameters for a parametric tuning algorithm; a frequency synthesizer coupled to the acousto-optic device, the frequency synthesizer configured to provide a radio frequency (RF) tuning signal to the acousto-optic device via the acoustic transducer; a programmable controller coupled to the acousto-optic device and the frequency synthesizer, wherein the programmable controller is configured to read the plurality of design specific parameters and to receive a second plurality of parameters comprising one or more of environmental parameters, setup specific parameters and user specified performance parameters, and wherein the programmable controller is further configured to apply the plurality of design specific parameters and the second plurality of parameters to the design specific parametric tuning algorithm to select a radio frequency tuning signal that optimizes a user specified performance parameter.
