Abstract
Thin film electrooptic beam scanners [1,2] are of interest for applications such as optical recording and laser printing. We are pursuing a novel waveguide device structure in which prisms are formed by ferroelectric domain inversion in a substrate containing a planar waveguide. The device uses TM optical modes in z-cut substrates and is therefore compatible with waveguides used for optical second-harmonic generation (SHG).
