Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a photonic acoustic-optic frequency shifter having an integrated layer of lithium niobate. An input port receives input light and an acoustic wave generator generates an acoustic wave into a deflection area comprising a layer of lithium niobate. A first output port exits undeflected light from the deflection area as transmitted light and a second output port exits light deflected in frequency by the acoustic wave in the deflection area.
