title: Design considerations of the acousto-optic light deflector.
abstract: Theoretical analysis of the performance of the acousto-optic light deflector is described. Detailed calculations for LiIO3--SF6 glass structure including the influence of the bonding layer and Q-factor on the frequency response of the deflector are presented. A method of increasing the bandwidth in the presence of the bonding layer is given.
