The case of the perpendicular light beam incidence (i.e. its axis) relatively to the direction of propagation of the ultrasound beam of ∆z width propagated in water (liquid) was considered. The light beam phase change and deflection contributions to the diffraction pattern was taken into account. Final analytical formulae gives a possibility analyze the influence of such parameters as: a size and position of the gaussian beam waist, a laser-screen (detector) distance, a position of the ultrasound beam and Raman-Nath parameter value on diffraction pattern. It has been proved that in some cases the diffraction beams have a fine structure.
