Abstract
Thin-film lithium niobate has opened the doors to new opportunities in integrated acousto-optics. Low-loss, wavelength-scale waveguides enable devices of an unprecedented size and efficiency. In this thesis, I develop a general framework for treating acousto-optic waveguides and design tools for the piezoelectric transducers that drive them. This work culminates in two demonstrations: a collinear acousto-optic modulator in suspended lithium niobate with a record figure-of-merit, and an integrated acousto-optic deflector for on-chip beam-steering in lithium niobate-on-sapphire.
