EFFECT OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE ACOUSTO-OPTIC DIFFRACTION EFFICIENCY IN NaBi(MoO4)2 CRYSTALS

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The anisotropic acousto-optic (AO) diffraction in NaBi(MoO4)2 crystals under the effect of magnetic field is considered in the present work.It has been shown that the induced circular birefringence by the magnetic field due to the Faraday effect can lead to the enhancement of efficiency of AO diffraction if the incident optical wave is circularly polarized and propagates along optical axis.At the interaction with the quasi-longitudinal acoustic wave, the AO figure of merit changes from a value of 0.3×10 -15 s 3 /kg at zero magnetic field to 8×10 -15 s 3 /kg when the magnetic field is applied.The actual experimental geometry for further validation of our theoretical predictions is proposed.
