Multiple plane wave analysis of acousto-optic diffraction of Gaussian shaped light beams

A short history of acousto-optics research is presented along with a general description of how light and sound interact. The Multiple Scattering model is derived and used with a Gaussian light beam to observe the distortion in light beam profile within the sound field. Numerical results are pres...
