Abstract
A method is proposed for the formation of two-color optical radiation with a rotating polarization vector, the rotation frequency of which is determined by the acoustic frequency. The method is based on acousto-optic (AO) diffraction of two-color radiation by an acoustic wave and the interference of circularly polarized beams with different frequencies. The rotation of polarization of two-color radiation is experimentally demonstrated for wavelengths of 0.488 × 10–4 and 0.514 × 10–4 cm using two AO Bragg cells made of a gyrotropic TeO2 crystal. Polarization rotation with a frequency of about 109 MHz is obtained.
