The resonant acousto-optic effect

This dissertation is theoretical investigation of the resonant acousto-optic effect in ionic crystals and thin metal foils. The optical properties of these types of materials, in the presence of coherent acoustic pump excitation, are numerically modelled and compared with analytical results. The res...
