Abstract
We present a piezoelectric transducer in thin-film lithium niobate that converts a 1.7 GHz microwave signal to a mechanical wave in a single mode of a 1 micron-wide waveguide. We measure a -12 dB conversion efficiency that is limited by material loss. The design method we employ is widely applicable to the transduction of wavelength-scale structures used in emerging phononic circuits like those at the heart of many optomechanical microwave-to-optical quantum converters.
