Abstract

A method is proposed for the production of two-colour radiation with monochromatic components, the polarisation vectors of which rotate in opposite directions, and the rotation speed is controlled by the sound frequency. The method is based on acousto-optic (AO) interaction upon double passage of two-colour radiation through an AO cell made of a gyrotropic crystal; the method efficiency is demonstrated by the example of radiation from an Ar laser generating at wavelengths of 0.488 and 0.514 μm and an AO cell made of TeO2, operating at a sound frequency of 60 MHz.
