Abstract

A study has been made of the influence of the phase-difference of two ultrasonic beams, a fundamental and its nth harmonic, on the intensities or amplitudes of diffracted lightwaves. After showing the similarity between superposed and adjacent ultrasound in the Raman-Nath region ρ ⪡ 1, simplified expressions for the intensities have been set up to draw conclusions concerning the symmetry of the diffracted pattern, the amplitude modulation, and the numerical calculation of the factor α n , from the intensities in which α n represents the ratio of the ultrasonic pressures. All results are illustrated in the case of a fundamental and its second or third harmonic.
