Abstract

The interaction of light with the bulk acoustic wave that is excited from the surface of the lithium niobate crystal is experimentally studied. A prototype of the acousto-optic device that employs the XY-cut crystal and the optimized (Y-13°)-cut crystal is presented. Diffraction efficiencies of 1 and 2 %/W are obtained for the first and second prototypes, respectively. It is demonstrated that the polarization characteristics of the device differ from the conventional characteristics by the dependence on the structure of the acoustic beam. An original method for the excitation of the ultrasonic beam can be used in the acousto-optic devices for light control.
