Abstract
A first medium having an acousto-optic activity and a second medium are combined to form a net medium having a net acousto-optic activity greater than the acousto-optic activity of the first medium, where the improvement is substantiated via measurements made at specific viewing conditions, and where the second medium can be chosen because it effects at least one of three key properties of the net medium.
