The possibility of polarization-independent light modulation in the intermediate regime of diffraction close to the Bragg regime is shown. The dependences of the diffraction efficiency on the incident light polarization azimuth at different ultrasonic wave intensities are given.     

The Bragg Diffraction of Light at Acoustophotorefractive Holographic Gratings in Gyrotropic Cubic Crystals

We investigate diffraction of light at phase holographic-type gratings recorded by a piezoactive ultrasonic wave in gyrotropic cubic photorefractive crystals. We show that the efficiency of diffraction at a holographic grating can be increased substantially by applying a d.c. field to a crystal under the conditions of a longitudinal electrooptical effect; elliptical polarization of diffracted light is determined by electrically induced anisotropy of a crystal in the piezofield of a photorefractive grating, by the external electric field, detuning of phase synchronism, gyrotropy of the crystal, ultrasound frequency, and the time of recombination of charge carriers.     

Intermediate regime of light diffraction by surface ultrasonic waves in planar gyrotropic optical waveguides

The intermediate regime of optoacoustic interaction, similar to the Bragg one, with Rayleigh surface ultrasonic waves in gyrotropic planar waveguides is studied. A system of equations of bound waves is presented that describes planar optoacoustic interaction in the intermediate, Raman-Natoh, and Bragg regimes of light diffraction by surface ultrasonic waves. It is shown that the optical activity of a wavequide film favors the incident light energy pumping to diffracted light for a TE-polarization wave and decelerates this process for an incident TM-polarization wave.

Optoacoustic interaction in uniaxial gyrotropic quartz crystals

The specific features are considered of the noncollinear optoacoustic interaction in uniaxial gyrotropic quartz crystals in an intermeadiate regime of diffraction close to the Bragg regime. A system of equations of coupled waves is presented which describes the optoacoustic interaction in uniaxial gyrotropic crystals in the Raman-Nath, intermedaite, and the Bragg regimes of diffraction. The dependences of the diffraction efficiency on the ultrasonic wave intensity, the optoacoustic interaction length, and on the incident light polarization are investigated. A multispike structure of the Bragg maximum is studied that appears in accounting for the crystal gyrotropy. A good agreement between the theoretical calculations and the known experimental results for a quartz crystal is shown.

Group Representation of Waves in Gyrotropic Crystals

A new group (linear) representation of the propagation of waves in properly and naturally gyrotropic crystals in the general case where the nonreciprocity effect takes place has been developed. Simple expressions of the dependence of ray (group) velocities and polarization vectors of isonormal waves on the complex vector of principal velocities dual to the unitary tensor by which the optical properties of crystals are directly characterized have been obtained. The relationship between gyrotropy and anisotropy and the dipole moment and displacement current induced by the radiation in the crystal has been established. It is shown that the presence of gyrotropy and nonlinear polarization of radiation together with the elimination of conical points entails a phase ambiguity of the ray velocity of the quantummechanical type and a smearing and layering of the wave surface, as well as a discreteness of the spectrum of velocity values of isonormal waves.     

Bragg diffraction of light by a hypersound in gyrotropic cubic crystals

Noncollinear acousto-optical interaction of light beams in acoustically gyrotropic cubic crystals is considered. The dependences of the diffraction efficiency of the parameters of the optical and acoustical gyrotropy have been established. The attainability of the optimal efficiency of diffraction by shear ultrasonic waves due to the anisotropy electrically induced by the external field under conditions of longitudinal electro-optical effect is shown.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 1, pp. 80–84, January–February, 2005.     

The intermediate regime of light diffraction by ultrasound in planar gyrotropic optical waveguides in an external electric field

A theoretical investigation is carried out for an intermediate regime of optoacoustic interaction, close to the Bragg one, by ultasonic Rayleigh surface waves in gyrotropic planar waveguides in an external electric field. A system of equations of associated waves is presented which describes the planar optoacoustic interaction in intermediate, Raman—Nath, and Bragg regimes of diffraction by ultrasonic surface waves in gyrotropic crystals with electrically induced anisotropy. It is shown that the intermediate (transition) regime of optoacoustic interaction, which is characterized by an angular selectivity and by the presence of several diffraction maxima, is the basic regime of diffraction. In this case diffracted light is generally elliptically polarized with an ellipticity and polarization azimuth that depend on the external electric field intensity.

Diffraction of light by ultrasound in paratellurite crystals under Fresnel reflection conditions

We show that layers of acousto-optic gyrotropic paratellurite crystals perturbed by ultrasound can be used as efficient light modulators in transmission and reflection mode. We have established that the relative intensities of the diffracted waves are determined by the ratio of the refractive indices of the bounding media, the intensity of the ultrasound, and the thickness of the modulated layer. We show that for an asymmetric diffraction structure, efficient acousto-optic conversion is possible in reflection mode, and the weak effect of the gyrotropy is due to its suppression by Fresnel reflection at the boundaries of the layer. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 6, pp. 819–823, November–December, 2006.     

Features of acousto-optic interaction in uniaxial gyrotropic crystals

The features of noncollinear acousto-optic interaction in gyrotropic crystals in the intermediate diffraction regime and the regime of Bragg diffraction were investigated. The dependence of the efficiency of diffraction in gyrotropic paratellurite, tellurium, and quartz crystals on the intensity of the ultrasonic wave, acousto-optic interaction length, and incident-light polarization was investigated. It is shown that the gyrotropy of the crystal is responsible for the appearance of a multiple-peak structure of the Bragg maximum. It has been established that in the case of propagation of incident and diffracted waves in the vicinity of the optical axis of the crystal, the diffraction efficiency is independent of the polarization state of the incident light. The results of theoretical calculations are in agreement with the experimental results obtained for uniaxial crystals.

Interaction of a Defect Density Wave With a Modulated Structure in Incommensurate-Phase Crystals

Experimental and theoretical studies of the optical birefringence increment in the transition and metastable states of the incommensurate phase of Rb₂ZnBr₄, [N(CH₃)4]₂MeCl₄ (Me = Zn, Cu, Fe) crystals have been made. It has been established that in the modulated structure field a defect density wave is formed. It has been shown that when the period of the defect density wave coincides with the period of the modulation wave, the region of existence of the metastable state expands; when the periods of these waves do not coincide, their superposition occurs, with the formation of a wave with a difference value of the modulation vector. The presence of defect density waves in the incommensurate phase leads to a temperature hysteresis and kinetics of the physical quantities in the vicinity of T_c. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 5, pp. 632–639, September–October, 2005.

Interaction of (1+1)-dimensional dipole solitons in optical lattice

The interaction between two (1+1)-dimensional dipole solitons in a weak modulation lattice is studied numerically. Two unstable dipole solitons can form the bound state, and their propagation can be stabilized due to their mutual interaction. The propagation patterns with the interaction are dependent on the interval, relative phase, and input energy of the two dipole solitons. The two poles of the dipole soliton exchanges their energy after the interaction. Under the proper conditions, the interaction force between the two dipole solitons exhibits some properties similar to those between two molecules.     

Ternary phase-amplitude modulation with twisted nematic liquid crystal displays for Fourier-plane light homogenization in holographic data storage

Holographic data storage applications often use liquid crystal displays as spatial light-amplitude modulators for writing data images. The hologram created in the Fourier plane is usually applied to store the information, since this plane supplies optimal data density. A well known technique for homogenizing the light distribution in the Fourier plane is the application of external random phase modulating masks. The requirement for pixel by pixel matched positioning of the phase modulating mask and the pixels of the spatial light-amplitude modulator is hard to solve in the optical systems and any positioning error leads to significant signal degradations. The article analyses the possibilities of realizing the required simultaneous amplitude and phase modulation of light with the application of a single LCD. Twisted nematic LCDs with different maximal birefringence are numerically investigated using the Jones matrix method. Elliptical incident and exit polarizations are proposed, by which ternary phase-amplitude modulation (+1,–1,0) can be realized. Test measurements are also presented that demonstrate the validity of the calculated results.
