Abstract
An acousto-optic device operating in the Raman-Nath regime has been bu ilt and tested to investigate the potential benefits of using planar d omain-inverted lithium niobate transducers to generate complex acousti c fields in acousto-optic (AO) devices. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a domain-inverted LiNbO3 transducer used to produce a focused acoustic field in an AO application. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc e B.V.
