Abstract :
The use of the acousto-optical interaction between guided optical waves and surface acoustic waves to make an efficient high resolution light deflector is discussed. Details of a device with a 150MHz bandwidth and 125 experimentally observed spots and using a novel acoustic transducer, are given.
