摘要
We obtain equations for the Bragg regime of acoustooptic diffraction of light in two-dimensional photonic crystals. We determine applicability conditions of the single-wave approximation, in which it is sufficient to take into account only one Fourier component of each of Bloch waves involved in the acoustooptic interaction. In the single-wave approximation, we obtain formulas that make it possible to estimate the acoustooptic figures of merit of a photonic crystal. We show that, in a photonic crystal, higher acoustooptic figures of merit can be achieved than in the materials that make up the crystal.
