Diffraction of electromagnetic waves by ultrasonic waves in an anisotropic medium. I

Summary The theory of diffraction of electromagnetic waves by an ultrasonic wave in a crystal is discussed above. Expressions are obtained for the diffraction field in the near and the far zones. In the near zone the system is shown to be describable by the scattering matrix S of a 2(N+1)-pole, thus enabling the matrix method of network theory to be used for in vestigating different kinds of cascade connection of such systems. The expressions obtained contain the classical formulas of scalar diffraction in an isotropic layer as particular cases.Izvestiya VUZ. Radiofizika, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 16–32, 1966
