Summary :

Two types of surface acoustic waveguides were studied for use in collinear acousto-optic devices. These waveguides are indispensable for integration and improvement of controll efficiency. Ta2O5 strip waveguides and Al v/v waveguides placed on optical slab waveguides on Y-X LiNbO3 were found to improve the SAW propagation properties. In particular, the SAW excited with a focused IDT was coupled into the Ta2O5 strip waveguide with the coupling loss less than 2 dB and the propagation loss less than 1 dB. The propagation properties and the beam profiles were measured by optical probing. Furthermore, phase velocities of guided waves were measured in fairly good agreement with the calculated ones.
