title: Highly efficient acousto-optic diffraction in Sn2P2S6 crystals.
abstract: We have studied the acousto-optic (AO) diffraction in Sn2P2S6 crystals and found that they manifest high values of an AO figure of merit. The above crystals may therefore be used as highly efficient materials in different AO applications.
