| Summary: | One area of integrated optics that has reached a certain degree of scientific and technological maturity is guided-wave acoustooptics. This subject, which deals with Bragg interactions between guided optical waves and acoustic waves, is reviewed in this volume. After a description of the basic principles and theoretical analysis of bulk-wave acoustooptics, guided-wave optics and surface acoustic waves, there follows a discussion of guided-wave acoustooptic Bragg diffraction in LiNbO3, ZnO/SiO2 and GaAs, and the sideband modulators and deflectors that can be manufactured from them. The applications described include light beam modulation and deflection, multiport switching in communications, and spectral analysis, correlation and convolution in RF signal processing. This tutorial volume will be of interest to research scientists and engineers, graduate students, and design and practicing engineers working with integrated optics. |
