Abstract

An experimental setup is proposed in this work that allows measurement of beat signals during the superposition of the related components of the orthogonal expansion describing the electric field of the total light wave. The results of experimental studies obtained in real time via optical heterodyning accompanied by the acousto-optic interaction of two light waves in the Bragg diffraction regime are presented.
