Abstract: A configuration of a laser polarisation modulator based on isotropic acousto-optic interaction is proposed. Polarisation control is performed by a 2D acousto-optic cell based on one monoclinic single crystal. A possibility of implementing this modulator on the basis of a KY(WO₄)₂ crystal is demonstrated.

Keywords: acousto-optics, polarisation, biaxial crystal, potassium-yttrium tungstate, laser Q-switch.
