Since the publication of the above Letter, the authors have noticed a relevant manuscript that was published in October 1997:

Liu, W. F., Russell, P. St. J. & Dong, L. Acousto-optic superlattice modulator using a fiber Bragg grating. Opt. Lett. 22, 1515–1517 (1997). The manuscript describes positive and negative Doppler shifts at optical frequencies in an acousto-optic superlattic modulator using a fibre Bragg grating. Associated amendments have been made to the text, a citation to this work has been added and the references have been renumbered accordingly. This revision has been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the Letter.
