Abstract

The efficiency of guided-wave acousto-optic diffraction is proportional to the total power flow Pa in the incident surface acoustic wave (SAW) beam. The efficiency and frequency response of guided-wave acousto-optic devices, therefore, are a strong function of the characteristics of the transducer used to excite the incident acoustic beam [4.1]. As described in Chap. 1, the interdigital-electrode SAW transducer [4.2,3], illustrated in Fig.4.1, is utilized as the acoustic excitation source in all guided-wave acousto-optic devices under study today. The planar format and the relatively high electro-acoustic conversion efficiency of this transducer make it ideal for acousto-optic applications. Moreover, it is possible to fabricate multiple transducer arrays [4.1,4] which greatly extend the bandwidth of acousto-optic interaction by optimizing the spatial phase match of the acoustic and optic beams over a wide range of frequency.
