“…A number of techniques have been suggested for this aim (see, e.g., Refs. ). As a matter of fact, they deal with so‐called indicative surfaces (ISs) that describe spatial anisotropy of an external field‐induced effect subjected to analysis (the simplest example of an IS for a second‐rank optical gyration tensor may be found in the textbook ).…”

“…One should start from a complete set of nonzero tensor components

r_{η_{1} . . . η_{N}}

( N being the rank of the tensor) describing a given effect for some material, which are supposed to be already known from experiment. Then one can construct the IS as a surface

r (θ, φ)

for which the distance r from the origin to a given point defined by spherical angles θ and φ is equal to the size of the effect along a given direction (e.g., an effective EO coefficient or acoustooptic figure of merit – see ). Notice that spatial directions of the external field, the propagation and polarization directions of light (or acoustic) waves should be predetermined for each of the ISs under interest (e.g., these directions may be chosen to be parallel or perpendicular to the radius vector of the IS – see discussion below).…”

We analyze angular bandwidths of extrema of the indicative surfaces describing spatial anisotropy of piezoelectric (PE) and electrooptic (EO) properties of doped lithium niobate (LiNbO3:MgO) and langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) crystals. A number of highly efficient experimental geometries are suggested, which are promising for PE and EO devices. Our data obtained with both analytical and numerical techniques characterize angular stability of those devices and, in particular, their angular aperture. We show that, besides of a maximal size of the electric field‐induced effects, ‘nondirect crystal cuts’ offer considerably higher angular stability of their characteristics, when compared with that typical for ‘direct crystal cuts’ usually employed in PE and EO devices.

“…The authors of the works [27,28] (1)) that the AOFM is mainly influenced by the acoustic wave velocity which appears in the denominator raised to the third power. At the same time, 2 M is proportional only to the squared effective PE coefficient and so the latter affects the AOFM to a lesser degree.…”

Abstract.In the present work we show experimentally on the example of -BaB 2 O 4 crystals that a choice of the slowest acoustic wave for acoustooptic interaction made on the basis of acoustic anisotropy of crystals can essentially increase the acoustooptic figure of merit. The latter parameter for -BaB 2 O 4 obtained by us is equal to M 2 =(211±31)10 -15 s 3 /kg. We demonstrate that the acoustooptic diffraction efficiency in -BaB 2 O 4 increases for shorter wavelengths of optical radiation and reaches almost ~ 75% at the wavelength 325 nm (at the acoustic signal power 0.04 W). This fact, along with transparency of those crystals in the ultraviolet spectral range and their high resistance against a powerful laser radiation, make them attractive materials for operating high-power ultraviolet laser radiation.

“…In the present paper we hence extend the spatial anisotropy analysis on the AO properties of LiNbO 3 :MgO and GaP crystals having in goal to determine the most optimal geometry of the AO coupling. Our search is based on the indicative surfaces (ISs) technique [12,[15][16][17]. In [18] we have used the analogical technique for example of LiNbO 3 crystals.…”

We report the spatial anisotropy of the acoustooptical figure of merit M 2 in LiNbO 3 :MgO and GaP crystals. The analysis is based on the indicative surfaces being calculated for different geometries of the acoustooptical diffraction. Basing on these results the most efficient geometries of the acoustooptical cells made of these crystals are determined. It give a possibility to increase the application efficiency of LiNbO 3 :MgO and GaP crystals as sensitive elements for acoustooptical high-frequency control of powerful laser irradiation.
