Abstract
Theoretical expressions and their approximate formulae for the intensities of light diffracted by two adjacent ultrasonic beams are discussed and compared with experimental data for the case when the second beam is an even harmonic of the first (fundamental). In the special case of the fundamental and its second or fourth harmonic, relatively simple formulae are found for the first and second diffraction orders describing the variation of light intensity with phase shift and intensity ratio. The approximate formulae describe the experiments satisfactorily only for small values of ζ 1 and α n . For higher values the exact formulae give better agreement. Only the Raman-Nath region is considered.
