Bragg coupling efficiency for guided acoustooptic interaction in GaAs

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The guided acoustooptical interaction on the (100) plane of GaAs is investigated as a function of waveguide thickness type of mode, acoustic frequency, direction of acoustic wave propagation, and substrate refractive index Our calculated results indicate that best efficiency is obtained for TE0 → TE0 optical modes and for acoustic surface wave propagating along the 〈011〉 direction at a waveguide thickness close to cutoff Under these conditions, approximately 75 mW of acoustic power is required for 100% diffraction. For a transducer aperture giving 50 Ω of radiation resistance, the rf bandwidth of the diffraction is limited essentially by the frequency bandwidth of the interdigital transducer. A comparison of the calculated results with experimental data at 1.06-μm optical wavelength is also given.
