Abstract:
The published work and additional experiments were used to carry out a comparative analysis of the efficiency of the acoustooptic interaction in GaAlAs and LiNbO3:Ti waveguides. Experiments carried out at a frequency of 100 MHz showed that, other conditions being equal, the acoustooptic figure of merit of GaAlAs waveguides was an order of magnitude higher than that of LiNbO3:Ti waveguides.
