the principle of multifrequency acoustooptic diffraction is first introduced.Then
the accoustooptic diffraction coupling wave formula is deduced and in combination with the analysis of its vectors
the multifrequency acoustooptic diffraction effects
such as diffraction efficiency
wave vector mismatch and 3rd-order intermodulation
are quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed.Experimental results show that all these effects are in good agreement with the Bragg theoretical limits.
