Focused acoustic wave acousto-optic device using a planar domain-inverted lithium niobate transducer

An acousto-optic device operating in the Raman-Nath regime has been built and tested to investigate the potential benefits of using planar domain-inverted lithium niobate transducers to generate complex acoustic fields in acousto-optic (AO) devices. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a d...

Description
Summary:An acousto-optic device operating in the Raman-Nath regime has been built and tested to investigate the potential benefits of using planar domain-inverted lithium niobate transducers to generate complex acoustic fields in acousto-optic (AO) devices. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a domain-inverted LiNbO3 transducer used to produce a focused acoustic field in an AO application.
