Anisotropic acousto-optic interaction in a KRS-5 crystal
Abstract:
We investigated the acoustic and acousto-optic parameters of cubic crystal KRS-5, which can be used in acousto-optic devices operating with optical radiation from visible to far infrared regions. The results of acoustic and acousto-optic property calculations are presented. Also, we present a possibility of obtaining optical birefringence in cubic material when external static pressure is applied to the KRS-5 crystal. We discuss in detail the results of anisotropic Bragg diffraction observation in cubic crystal in the presence of external static pressure.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
