Abstract

The intermediate regime of optoacoustic interaction, similar to the Bragg one, with Rayleigh surface ultrasonic waves in gyrotropic planar waveguides is studied. A system of equations of bound waves is presented that describes planar optoacoustic interaction in the intermediate, Raman-Natoh, and Bragg regimes of light diffraction by surface ultrasonic waves. It is shown that the optical activity of a wavequide film favors the incident light energy pumping to diffracted light for a TE-polarization wave and decelerates this process for an incident TM-polarization wave.
