| 摘要 |
A light beam is introduced into an optical waveguide on a substrate of LiNbO3, and diffracted by a surface elastic wave generated by a tilted-finger chirped interdigital transducer on the optical waveguide. The direction in which the light beam is guided through the optical waveguide is substantially aligned with the z-axis of the LiNbO3 substrate. The light beam diffracted by the surface elastic wave and emitted out of the optical waveguide is applied to an optical member, such as a polarizing plate, a pinhole plate, or a light shield plate, which passes only a linear polarized component of the diffracted light beam.
