100% modulation of light was achieved by the strain‐optic effect of the piezoelectrically induced standing acoustic waves in a bulk LiNbO 3 crystal. The modulation index as high as 4 was attained. As a result, in a single pass a continuous wave light has been modulated resulting in transmission peaks of width less than 2 ns at a repetition rate of 100 MHz.
