Abstract

A theoretical model is presented for the strong two-dimensional acoustooptic interaction (AOI) of finite-size beams with arbitrary profiles in an acoustic field with a curved wave front. Transfer functions are derived in a universal normalized form for the AOI. The results of numerical simulation of the diffraction characteristics show that during AOI in an acoustic field with a curved wave front the product of the diffraction efficiency and bandwidth increases at least 1.5 times for a weak interaction and more than five times for a strong interaction. The optimal values of the normalized parameters (of the acoustooptic coupling and the curvature), for which the efficiency and bandwidth are maximum, are determined.
