| Description: | Theory and experimental techniques of acousto-optic devices were developed for the purpose of modulating and deflecting the laser beams. By the end of the sixties very important results on acoustic beam steering, acoustic interaction in anisotropic media and efficiency and bandwidth of acoustooptic deflectors and modulators had been published. Since then varieties of acousto-optic devices have evolved with many applications in diverse fields. This rapid progress has been primarily due to the development of superior acousto-optic materials and efficient broadband transducers. The present volume is the contribution of leading optical physicists, crystal growers, chemists and optical engineers working in the area of acousto-optic materials, device fabrication and characterization. The book contains very interesting papers on novel materials some of which are at the early stage of development. In addition, important new techniques of materials and device characterization are described. |
