Effect of ellipticity of optical eigenwaves on the enhancement of efficiency of acousto-optic Bragg diffraction. A case of optically active Pb5Ge3O11 crystals
We show that the existence of optical activity in an optical material can lead to essential enhancement of acousto-optic (AO) figure of merit. The reason is that the ellipticity of interacting optical eigenwaves approaches unity near the optical axis and so additional elasto-optic (EO) tensor compon...
