声光偏转器可以用来扫描激光束。这是通过改变射频驱动频率实现的。随机位置、连续线扫描和顺序点偏移都是可能的。根据晶体、波长和光束大小，可以获得超过250KHz的扫描速率。最佳效率要求输入激光束设置在布拉格角，这是驱动频率的函数。当扫掠扫描激光束时，由于AOD只能在一个驱动频率下进行光学对准，因此会产生布拉格角失配。一般来说，这将根据扫描范围降低效率。

最佳效率要求输入激光束设置在布拉格角，这是驱动频率的函数。当扫掠扫描激光束时，由于AOD只能在一个驱动频率下进行光学对准，因此会产生布拉格角失配。一般来说，这将根据扫描范围降低效率。可以使用以下几种技术来尽量减少这种影响:
离轴声光偏转器(OAD)利用双折射晶体的非线性特性，将布拉格角频率灵敏度降到最低。
电子束引导声光偏转器(“-BS”)根据射频驱动频率对晶体内的声柱进行电子引导。这就要求换能器上的相控阵电极具有2或4个射频输入。
