Investigation of collinear acousto-optical diffraction of light fluxes

Abstract

A system of differential equations describing collinear light diffraction on a three-dimensional acoustic Zug of finite length with a sinc-shaped time envelope, where linear frequency modulation is used, is obtained. The obtained solutions of differential equations allow us to describe the longitudinal and transverse distribution of the amplitudes of transmitted and diffracted light under strong acoustic-optical interaction. The dependence of the acousto-optical cell bandwidth on the ratio of the Zug length to the crystal, and the filter transmission during light diffraction on acoustic zugs with a sinc-shaped time envelope is studied. The result of this study can be formulated as the development of analytical and software methods for analyzing diffraction pattern of electromagnetic waves in multi-wave mode of reception on infinitely extended object in free space, as well as a software method for calculating diffraction characteristics at frequencies exceeding the basic frequency, taking into account the inhomogeneity of electromagnetic fields in these conditions. The practical significance is the research results used in the development of a universal technique for design and development of radar systems capable of working adequately in conditions of electromagnetic environment in question. The results of this research will allow a more complete description of the electrodynamic picture of wave propagation and its diffraction, namely, taking into account the diffraction properties of radar systems will allow us to develop a direction for their wider production and distribution.
