Based on the window Fourier transform, the instantaneous intensity spectra of multi-beam diffraction orders are analyzed at the output of the acousto-optic deflector that is controlled by the frequency-shiftsignal. According to results of numerical simulation and experimental check, recommendations are given on choosing control signal parameters to obtain quasi-homogeneous control fields in scanning teleorientationsystems.
