Acousto-optic (AO) devices have been used extensively in optical tweezers because of their flexibility and speed; however, these devices have trap positioning inaccuracies that limit their usefulness, especially for high-resolution applications. We show that these inaccuracies are due to interference patterns within the AO device sound fields. We have devised a method that removes these inaccuracies by reducing the coherence of the sound fields by directly controlling and randomizing the phase of the radio frequency voltage input signal. We demonstrate that the trapping inaccuracies are eliminated, for both constant trap position and force-ramp measurements, and that no additional noise is added. We show that this random phase method is applicable to both acousto-optic modulator and deflector type devices and can be easily integrated via software upgrade into existing instruments.

Optical filters are indispensable components in optical systems, allowing precise control over the transmission and manipulation of light. With the integration of advanced optical simulation capabilities like 3DOptix, engineers, and researchers can now accurately model and analyze the performance of all filters available in the catalog. This empowers them to thoroughly evaluate and optimize optical designs before implementation. Our catalog boasts an extensive collection of optical filters, including dielectric-coated filters, colored glass filters, neutral density filters, spatial filters, bandpass filters, dichroic filters, long pass filters, notch filters, short pass filters, and more. Whether for spectral analysis, light attenuation, or spatial modulation, our filters offer versatile solutions to suit diverse application requirements. With the ability to simulate each filter with precision using 3DOptix, our optical solutions provide researchers and engineers with the tools they need to innovate and excel in their endeavors.
