Optical considerations for an acoustooptic deflector

An optical analysis is presented for the performance of an acoustooptic deflector illuminated by a slittruncated Gaussian beam and operating in the linear FM mode. Effects of relatively small scan-time/access-time ratios and nonlinearity of the FM are considered.
