ARRANGEMENT FOR ACOUSTO-OPTICAL LIGHT DEFLECTION

摘要

There has been disclosed a novel use of single crystal paratellurite, that is, tellurium dioxide TeO2 as a medium for acousto-optical light deflection. The light deflecting medium of the present invention enables light and ultrasonic waves passing therethrough to interact with each other with a higher efficiency than that of the prior art. The present light deflecting medium displays various effects by the several combinations of the propagation directions of light and acoustic waves.
