International audienceIn this letter, we show that a longitudinal acoustic wave can be generated in X-cut LiNbO(3) (LNO) thin films when a voltage bias is superimposed to the radio frequency signal. Although there is normally no coupling of this wave in X-cut LNO, its electrostrictive behavior combined with bias reaching 3.9 MV/cm induces an electromechanical coupling around 11%. This experiment was performed without acoustic isolation with the LNO substrate (high overtone bulk acoustic resonator configuration)
