Ultrafast acousto-optic mode conversion in optically birefringent ferroelectrics

Ultrafast acousto-optic mode conversion in optically birefringent ferroelectrics

Electrically driven acousto-optic light modulators are limited to frequencies of a few hundred megahertz and are typically no smaller than a few micrometres. Here, the authors demonstrate gigahertz acousto-optic conversion of light polarization in a region of a few nanometres using pulsed laser stim...
