The diffraction pattern produced by reflection of monochromatic light from an ultrasonic surface wave composed of a fundamental and higher harmonic frequencies is calculated for a Gaussian and a uniform light surface illumination. The diffraction pattern is found to be asymmetric with respect to the central order. This asymmetry is calculated from available diffraction data on LiNbO3.
