Enhancement of the efficiency of acousto-optic Bragg diffraction due to optical activity. A case of PbGeO crystals
Oksana Mys, Myroslav Kostyrko, Ivan Orykhivskyi +3
We show that the existence of optical activity in an optical material can lead to essential enhancement of acousto-optic (AO) figure of merit for this material. The reason is that…
Acoustooptic operation of optical vortex beams
Iryna Martynyuk-Lototska, Yurii Vasylkiv, Taras Dudok +2
Using acoustooptic (AO) cells based on TeO2 crystal and silica glass, we have experimentally shown for the first time that the intensity profile and the phase structure of the vort…
Anisotropy of the acoustooptic figure of merit for LiNbO3 crystals. Isotropic diffraction
Oksana Mys, Myroslav Kostyrko, Oleh Krupych +1
We have developed the approach for analyzing of anisotropy of acoustooptic figure of merit (AOFM) for lithium niobate crystals in the case of isotropic acoustooptic (AO) diffractio…
Anisotropy of acoustooptic figure of merit in optically isotropic media
Oksana Mys, Myroslav Kostyrko, Mykola Smyk +2
We suggest a new approach for analyzing spatial anisotropy of acoustooptic figure of merit (AOFM). The relations for the effective elastooptic coefficients and the AOFM are derived…
Torque-operated gradient-index axicon
Yurij Vasylkiv, Mykola Smyk, Ihor Skab +1
We describe a gradient-index axicon based on twisting of crystals. We demonstrate that the focal length of the axicon can be efficiently operated by the torsion moment. The working…
Generation of double-charged optical vortices on the basis of electrooptic Kerr effect
Yurij Vasylkiv, Ihor Skab, Rostyslav Vlokh
We show that double-charged optical vortices can be generated with the help of Kerr electrooptic effect in either single crystals or isotropic media, including gaseous and liquid o…
