It mainly consists of an FPW delay line oscillator and optical strip waveguides. The fun- damental theories and principles of the device are introduced briefly. A flexural plate-wave delay-line oscillator is designed to work as an acousto-optic (AO) shifter, which has a Klein-Cook parameter of 0.38. Single-mode optical strip waveguides of 2 μm in width and thicknesses of 0.6 μm are designed by using the effective index method for light transmission. The E^y00 mode waveguide polarizers are designed to ensure the consistency of the light polarization in the waveguides. The fabrication process, based on (100) oriented, 450-#m-thick silicon wafers is proposed in detail, and some difficulties in the process are discussed carefully. At last, a series of process tests are undertaken to solve the proposed problems. The results indicate that the proposed design and fabrication process of the device is dependable and realizable.展开更多
