Acousto-optic modulator as an element of signal processing systems of radio and optical range

BaO–TeO2–MoO3 glass: excellent candidate for acousto-optic modulators with high diffraction efficiency, fast response, and stable operation

“…When the laser transmits through the AO medium, diffraction occurs. [55][56][57] The diffraction efficiency and diffraction angle are both important parameters for evaluating AO devices, which mainly depend on the AO properties of the materials. The diffraction efficiency is defined as Z = I 1 /I 0 , where I 1 is the first-order diffracted light and I 0 is the zero-order diffracted light.…”
