.A novel method to improve spatial resolution of acousto-optic deflector[J].Optoelectronics Letters,2006,2(1):34-36 A novel method to improve spatial resolution of acousto-optic deflector WEN Tao ZHUANG Zhao-wen WEI Ji-bo MA Dong-tang College of Electronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China Abstract:       In this paper, a novel method of laser beam deflecting is introduced to improve the spatial resolution of an acoustic-optic deflector (AOD). We use double AOD (DAOD) to control laser beam. Compared with single AOD, the double AOD can improve speed and precision of target tracking and pointing significantly. Finally, a method of calculating the static and dynamic number of resolvable poins (NRP) is and it is supported by the experimental data excellently.
