    摘要: An opto-electronic A/D converter includes a tunable laser for wavelength modulating a narrowband coherent electromagnetic beam by the amplitude of the analog signal. A grating transforms the wavelength modulated beam into a corresponding angularly modulated beam. A set of kinoforms diffract the angularly modulated beam into a bundle of diffracted beams. Detectors determine the digital signal by repeatedly sampling the spatial power distribution of the diffracted beams.
