Abstract

The diffraction of light beams by ultrasound with a two-dimensionally nonuniform, exponentially damped amplitude distribution in gyrotropic cubic crystals is investigated theoretically. An analytical model of strong acoustooptic interaction is constructed on the basis of self-consistent solutions of the vector-matrix partial differential equations for coupled waves written in the amplitudes of the light beam. The model can be used to determine the spatial profiles of the intensity and the polarization structure of the diffracted field for arbitrary diffraction efficiencies and geometries. Numerical simulation results are given.
