Acousto-optically tunable lithium niobate photonic crystal

Nadege Courjal, Sarah Benchabane, Jean Dahdah, Gwenn Ulliac, Yannick Gruson et al.
We report on an active two-dimensional lithium niobate photonic crystal (PhC) driven by stationary Rayleigh surface acoustic waves. The configuration relies on two interdigital transducers that modulate the refractive index through the acousto-optical effect. Highly efficient, compact acousto-optica ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 131103 (2010)] published Mon Mar 29, 2010.
