Acousto-optic devices operate by a photo-elastic interaction.
Many examples of practical bulk devices and optical guided wave
devices have been presented in the technical literature.
Bulk devicesy are commercially available in Lithium Niobate and some of
the III-V compound semiconductors.

See: _Electro-Optical and Acousto-Optic Scanning and Deflection_
