Abstract

Interaction between a weakly divergent optical beam and an acoustic wave generated in the range 1.0–2.5 GHz by an inphase multielement electroacoustic piezoelectric transducer is analyzed. A piezoelectric (Y + 36°)-cut LiNbO3 plate is fixed on the surface of an X-cut LiNbO3 acoustic duct with the help of metallic sublayers (Cr, Cu, In, Cu, or Cr). The inphase structure of the transducer is formed by the upper electrodes inter-connected by short conductors. The signal is applied through a coaxial Chebyshev transformer. The efficiencies of electroacoustic conversion and acoustooptic interaction are calculated as functions of frequency. The experimental setup, method, and results are described.
