Acousto-optic properties of GexS100–x glasses and acousto-optic modulator on their basis
The investigation of acousto-optic properties of GexS100–x glasses, which had shown that they are perspective lightsoundwire material for manufacturing of acousto-optic devices for controlling the laser radiation in the visible spectral region was performed. Taking into account the technological con...
