Surface acoustic wave photonic devices in silicon on insulator

The authors implement surface acoustic waves on the silicon photonics platform by exciting a metallic grating with modulated pump light to enable microwave-photonic devices without the need for piezo-electric actuation, complex suspensions or hybrid materials.
