Definition

  • Celda de Bragg utilizada para difractar y trasladar la frecuencia de la luz mediante el uso de ondas sonoras de radiofrecuencia. Produce un rayo pulsado a la salida.
  • Cella di Bragg per diffrangere e traslare in frequenza la luce utilizzando onde sonore a radiofrequenza. Produce un fascio pulsato in uscita.
  • Device using the acousto-optic effect to change the frequency of the light beam by means of sound waves, usually radiofrequency. It is used in pulsed lidars to create the pulse from the continuously emmited light by the laser source. Usually referred as Bragg cell.
