  • Abstract
    We report an optically transparent ultrasonic device, consisting of indium-tin-oxide-coated lithium niobate (LNO), for use in particle manipulation. This device shows good transparency in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths and, acoustically, compares favorably with conventional prototype devices with silver electrodes.
