Laboratory of acousto-optics
The laboratory of acousto-optics is one of the leading applied and fundamental divisions of the department of quantum radiophysics. The main direction of the laboratory’s scientific activity is the study of processes related to the interaction of light rays with acoustic waves. The results of the latest achievements in this field were reflected in the development and creation of new unique devices for controlling laser radiation – acousto-optic modulators and deflectors, which by their parameters are superior to foreign analogues. On the basis of these devices, new modern devices are created that help solve complex tasks in various fields of science and technology.
