The Acousto-Optic Interaction in an Infinite Slab of Isotropic Material,

Abstract

A perturbation theory approach is taken to the problem of the diffraction of an optical plane wave by an acoustic wave propagating in an infinite slab of isotropic material. This treatment does not, like earlier treatments, neglect reflections at the interfaces, and thus can be applied to transparent solids, for which there is an abrupt wave-impedance mismatch at the interfaces.
