Acousto-optic modulator and incident light direction

These devices utilize the acousto-optic effect to diffract a portion of incident light at a deflection angle. Acousto-optic devices use a crystal or glass medium contacted with a. Acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) are useful devices which allow the fre-quency, intensity and direction of a laser beam to be modulated. Modulation of this incoming light can be achieved by. Thorlabs' Acousto-Optic Modulators (AOMs) and Q-Switches (AOQSs) are compact, acousto-optic devices in OEM packaging. A light beam is diffracted into several orders.
