Abstract
Experimental studies of narrow light beam interaction with
cylindrical standing ultrasonic wave are presented. As the focusing
and defocusing effects are observed, the considered arrangement
appears to be an acousto-optic lens. The proposed system acts as an
equivalent optical spherical lens whose focal length changes
periodically. Additionally, the system based on cylindrical
ultrasound serves as an efficient laser light modulator with the
rise time of 100 ns. The parameters of both considered modalities
(lens and modulator) can be easily controlled.
