Unidirectional operation of a ring laser via the acousto-optic effect
Two different techniques described for enforcing unidirectional operation of a ring laser using the acoustooptic effect. A simple quantitative explanation for each mechanism is presented, together with a detailed analytical model which allows the difference in loss for the counter-propagating beam t...
