Thin film acoustooptic beam deflector in proton-exchanged Y-cut LiNbO$_{3}$ was fabricated and measured. The planar waveguide was fabricated by using the proton-exchanged and annealing method in Y0cut LiNbO$_{3}$. Interdigital transducer for SAW(surface acoustic wave) was made by the laser lithography. Using above method, the thin film acoustooptic beam deflector was constructed. Its SAW wavelength was 20.mu.m at 174MHz center frequency. The interaction length between guided optical wave and SAW was 2.16mm. The measured 3dB bandwidth was 17MHz using He-Ne laser. And 70% diffraction efficiency was obtained at 970mW RF driving power.
