Deflection of an optical guided wave by a surface acoustic wave
Abstract
The experimental demonstration of deflection of an optical film-guided wave by a surface acoustic wave is reported. When Bragg conditions are satisfied, 0.18 W acoustic power gives rise to 66% deflection efficiency as measured by the depletion of the incident optical guided wave. © 1970 The American Institute of Physics.
