Which consequence results when laser light encounters acousto-optic modulation?

💡 Explanation

Acousto-optic modulation leads to a frequency, and therefore wavelength, shift in the diffracted laser light because the diffraction involves transfer of momentum and energy. Therefore, wavelength changes occur rather than simple coherence alteration which affects speckle contrast, or harmonic suppression.
