Experimental System for Electro-Optic Modulation 

Acousto-optic effect refers to the phenomenon of diffraction of light through a medium which is disturbed by ultrasound. This phenomenon is the result of interaction between light waves and acoustic waves in the medium. The acousto-optic effect provides an effective means to control the frequency, direction and strength of the laser beam. Acousto-optic devices made by acousto-optic effect, such as acousto-optic modulator, acousto-optic deflector and tunable filter, have important applications in laser technology, optical signal processing and integrated optical communication technology.
