ABSTRACT:
A plurality of incident light beams are parallelly propagated in a thin film optical waveguide. Simultaneously, a surface acoustic wave is propagated in said thin film optical waveguide, and the plurality of incident light beams are selectively successively guided to a light output part by the acousto-optic effect of said by Bragg diffraction. The diffraction light beams are serially output. In this way optical data parallelly input are directly converted into optical data in a serial state.
