mechanical energy fraction Emech,elec/Emech,tot are in fine agreement for the periodic<br />

and the finite model as seen from table 6.3 where the results are listed for h/2p = 1.<br />

The small deviations in the values are due to energy loss to the bulk material because<br />

of the limited number of electrodes in the finite structure.<br />

In order to study acousto-optical interaction, a buried channel waveguide is introduced<br />

below one of the electrodes in the waveguide area indicated in figure 6.15.<br />

The waveguide is supposed to be created by annealed proton exchange, which will<br />

introduce a refractive index variation that can confine optical modes. The eigenvalue<br />

problem for the optical modes is solved in the optical area. The waveguide is<br />

multi-moded and the two first order modes are considered here. The one polarized in<br />

the x1-direction is denoted optical mode 1 and the one polarized in the x2-direction<br />

is denoted optical mode 2. The acousto-optical interaction ∆neff,ν is calculated for<br />

the two optical modes both for the six acoustic modes with h/2p = 1 and for the<br />

Rayleigh wave excited by thin electrodes with h/2p = 0.01. The results are given in<br />

table 6.4. The SH modes interact most efficiently with optical mode 1 and the VP<br />

modes interact best with optical mode 2. The acousto-optical interaction decreases<br />

with increasing mode number within the two different categories of acoustic modes.<br />

The six acoustic modes with high aspect ratio electrodes interact better in general<br />

h/2p = 0.01.<br />
