I. Acoustooptic Devices and Applications

Abstruct-The theory, technology, and applications of bulk-wave acoustooptic devices are reviewed. A coupled wave analysis for the acoustooptic interaction in an anisotropic medium is presented. The bandwidth and angular aperture characteristics of acoustooptic devices are discussed in terms of simple phase mismatch considerations. The present status of acoustooptic materials and transducer technology is summarized. The characteristics and applications of acoustooptic devices, including deflectors, modulators, and optical filters, are discussed.
