摘要: Light deflector designs which use the anomalously low shear wave acoustic velocity and high acousto‐optic figure of merit in single‐crystal paratellurite, first proposed by Uchida and Ohmachi, have been made practical by exploiting this material's birefringence to circularly polarized light. Dixon's equations for Bragg interaction in birefringent materials are found to be equally applicable to optically active materials when linearly polarized propagation modes are replaced by circularly polarized modes. For specific ratios of sound‐to‐light …
