Acousto-optics with MATLAB

MATLAB is a widely accepted software tool routinely used in engineering, but not so much in applied optics and especially in acousto-optics. In this talk, we first explore the use of MATLAB to solve some well-known examples in acousto-optics such as Bragg diffraction and Raman-Nath diffraction. After establishing the correctness of the MATLAB approach, we then apply it to investigate image processing using acousto-optics and complete power transfer into the second and third Bragg order.
