Abstract

Lamb wave’s perturbation effect on electromagnetic modes propagating in Y − X lithium niobate slab is theoretically investigated. Rayleigh Lamb dispersion curves are estimated to investigate the behaviour of Lamb waves in micrometer order thick slab. Utilizing the information obtained from dispersion curves, acoustic displacement patterns and strain generated along the plate are evaluated. The modification caused to the refractive index of lithium niobate due to Lamb wave induced strain with photoelastic effect is determined. Further, the features of acoustically modified refractive index are examined using the transfer matrix method. It is found that an acoustically modified refractive index offers forbidden electromagnetic band gaps that can be adjusted by tuning the frequency of Lamb waves and by changing the incidence angle of electromagnetic waves. Hence proposed structure is used as a dynamically tunable photonic crystal for various applications like optical filters and optical switches.
