Abstract
Abstract The compound Tl 3 PSe 4 is disclosed. Non-conducting single crystals of the compound are prepared which have outstanding acousto-optical properties including an exceptionally high acousto-optical figure of merit. The crystals are used in various acousto-optical devices including a display device, a laser modulator, a non-collinear acousto-optic filter, and an acoustic delay line.
