Elasto-optic effect anisotropy in calcium tungstate crystals

摘要

The anisotropy of piezo- and elasto-optic effects in calcium tungstate CaWO4 crystals was studied by the indicatory surfaces method. On the basis of the maximum surfaces of the elasto-optic effect, the geometry of acousto-optic interaction with maximum efficiency was found. (c) 2015 Optical Society of America
