Abstract
An acousto-optical device includes a light waveguide path formed on an acousto-optical substrate, a transducer which crosses the light waveguide path and propagates a surface acoustic wave along the light waveguide path, and a buffer layer provided so that finger electrodes of the transducer are spaced apart from the light waveguide path in crossing portions in which the finger electrodes cross the light waveguide path. The finger electrodes have other portions which directly contact the substrate.
