Abstract
Typically modulation systems are incapable of performing synchronous modulation for high-energy radiation systems. A method and system for performing high-energy synchronous radiation modulating is described. The method includes providing an oscillatory diffractive element, with the oscillatory diffractive element capable of being oscillated over a range of angles. A radiation source provides radiation to the oscillatory diffractive element. An electrical signal is provided to electrodes that oscillate the oscillatory diffractive element to modulate the radiation. A temperature controller controls the temperature of the oscillatory diffractive element to tune the oscillatory motion of the oscillatory diffractive element.
