Abstract

An acousto-optic modulation device is provided which is comprised of an interaction material of an injection moulded plastic integrally combined with a transducer which is bonded automatically to the interaction material during the injection process. A beam of light is projected through the interaction material, the light being diffracted by an acoustic field established by the transducer.
