An all-fiber acousto-optic frequency shifter (AOFS) based on an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) cascaded with a packaged tapered fiber (TF)-coupled microsphere was proposed and demonstrated in both theory and experiment. The configuration has the advantages of easy alignment, robustness, compact size, and low cost, which will improve its further application, such as in the optical heterodyne detection technique (OHDT).
