Calculation of the interference pattern formed by image-carrying light beams diffracted by an acoustic wave in a uniaxial crystal

A scheme of full-field optical coherence microscopy based on a Michelson interferometer with wideband light source and acousto-optic spectral filtration in the output channel is studied. Mathematical formulas for calculating the interference pattern formed by image-carrying light beams diffracted by an acoustic wave in a uniaxial crystal are derived for this scheme. Results of numerical modeling and its comparison with experimental data are given.
