Acousto-Optic Modulators (AOMs) are critical components in modern optical systems, enabling precise control of light through the interaction of sound waves and laser beams. In space applications, AOMs are used for communication, imaging, and scientific instrumentation. However, the unique environment of space and the inherent nonlinearities in AOMs can significantly impact signal fidelity, posing challenges for reliable performance. Understanding these nonlinear effects is essential for optimizing AOMs in space-based systems.
