Abstract

The problem of deformation of images due to diffraction from 3D diffraction gratings (in particular, the grating formed by an acoustic wave in an acousto-optical filter) is considered. For the first time, the exact solution is obtained without using the small birefringence approximation. The form of aberrations induced by main types of acousto-optical filters is analyzed and illustrated by calculations.
