Abstract:
It is shown that for acousto-optic diffraction and modulation of Bessel light beams diffracted on Gulyaev–Blustein surface
acoustic waves, reflected diffraction orders should be used along with the transmission diffraction orders. Acousto-optic diffraction of Bessel light beams can be used to diagnose Gulyaev–Blustein surface waves in cubic piezoelectric crystals. Diffraction
of Bessel light beams of lower orders on crystal structures: air–GaAs–AlGaAs can be used to create multi-coordinate
acousto-optic deflectors and modulators.
Keywords:plan-parallel slab, Gulyaev–Blustein's waves, acousto-optical diffraction, cubic crystal, coefficients of reflection and transmission, light modulation.
