This chapter is concerned primarily with the use of integrated optical techniques in acousto-optic receivers. More specifically, we consider devices in which a light beam is confined in a waveguide deposited on the surface of a suitable planar substrate (typically a piece of single-crystal lithium niobate) and interacts with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) launched by a specially designed interdigital electrode structure.
