Abstract
Acousto-optical modulator apparatus for acousto-optically deflecting laser beam includes gas-filled volume including working gas and having input and output sections, for receiving beam along incidence light path via input section and transmitting beam along deflection light path via output section, and ultra-sound transducer device for creating ultra-sound field intersecting incidence light path in interaction region within gas-filled volume and creating periodic density modulation of working gas in interaction region, ultra-sound transducer device deflecting beam in interaction region by Bragg-diffraction in ultra-sound field, so that deflection light path has direction deviating from direction of incidence light path, wherein gas-filled volume keeps working gas at working pressure below bar and input section and output section transmit beam with laser center wavelength included in wavelength range from mid-IR to XUV. Preferably, ultra-sound transducer device focuses ultra-sound field in interaction region. Furthermore, a method of acousto-optically deflecting laser beam in working gas is disclosed.
