<p>deflections. In this configuration, the beam is sent first through the AOM, before undergoing a 90? polarization rotation (typically with a quarter-wave plate and a mirror), and then back through the AOM where it is deflected again by the crystal at the same angle. Finally, the returning light is split off using a polarizing beam splitter. In this configuration, the output frequency shift is twice the electrical drive frequency.</p>
