Optical coherence modulation by ultrasonic waves. 1: Dependence of partial coherence on ultrasonic parameters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Quantitative control of partial coherence by ultrasonic waves is considered theoretically and experimentally. The double coherence modulation factor obtained is space-invariant or not according to whether a light beam passes twice the same path or a different path in a progressive ultrasonic field by reflection at a plane mirror or at a right-angle prism. A double-modulation scheme using a plane mirror reflection system is found to be more effective than a single-modulation scheme for coherence control of low levels of ultrasonic power. The coherence of light is quantitatively varied with the input voltage applied to the ultrasonic transducer.
