The influence of paratellurite acoustic anisotropy on the quasicollinear acousto-optic diffraction characteristics was examined. In the presented case the quasicollinear geometry of acousto-optic diffraction is realized with the use of acoustic beam reflection from one of the crystal surfaces. The simulations were based on the solution of acoustic beams propagation problem for anisotropic media previously presented in Balakshy and Mantsevich (2012). It is shown that media inhomogeneity affects the distribution of the acoustic energy in the ultrasound beam and the shape of wave fronts. The acoustic beam structure influences the characteristics of quasicollinear acousto-optic diffraction causing transformation of acousto-optic device transmission function shape and reducing the diffraction efficiency.

Quasi-collinear geometry is a special configuration of acousto-optic (AO) diffraction that applies the acoustic wave reflection from the AO cell input optical face and provides an extremely large interaction length for achieving abnormally high spectral resolution of AO tunable filters. As a result, it becomes possible to implement the multifrequency diffraction which has found important applications for laser pulse shaping. The operation of quasi-collinear AO devices in the multifrequency diffraction regimen is accompanied by the appearance of the longitudinal and transverse temperature gradients in the crystal, mainly due to the acoustic power absorption.

By controlling the duration and shape of the acoustic pulse, the filter transmission function can be changed in terms of selectivity and side-lobe levels. The measurement results show good agreement with the simulation model based on the fast Fourier transform.

Quasi-collinear geometry is a special configuration of acousto-optic (AO) diffraction that provides an extremely large AO interaction length for achieving extremely high spectral resolution of AO tunable filters (AOTFs). Large AO interaction length also makes it possible to implement multifrequency diffraction in quasi-collinear AOTFs, which has found multiple applications in modern optoelectronics. The most widespread of them being ultrashort laser pulse shaping when the pulse shape and spectral composition is controlled by the spectral composition of the ultrasound pulse aroused in the AO crystal.

The quasicollinear geometry of acousto-optic (AO) diffraction is notable as makes it possible to achieve an extremely high AO interaction length and, consequently, an anomalously high spectral resolution for AO devices. This geometry is especially convenient for the implementation of multifrequency AO diffraction, which has found wide application for solving the problems related to the laser pulse shaping. Since acoustic beams propagate over long distances in quasicollinear AO devices, and optical radiation spectral components diffract in the acoustic field in different parts of the AO crystal, accurate calculation of the characteristics of such devices requires knowing the distribution of the acoustic field amplitude inside the AO cell.

Noncritical and quasicollinear phase-matching geometries of Bragg acousto-optic diffraction are compared for acoustic symmetry planes in four crystal systems (tetragonal, trigonal, orthorhombic, and monoclinic). The results for uniaxial crystals are reviewed and generalized for biaxial crystals.
