1. A method for making an acousto-optic device comprising:
forming an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) comprising an acousto-optic medium and a plurality of transducer electrodes carried by the acousto-optic medium;
forming an interface board comprising a dielectric layer and a plurality of signal contacts carried by the dielectric layer; and
forming a plurality of connections coupling respective signal contacts with respective transducer electrodes, each connection comprising
a dielectric protrusion extending from the AOM, and
an electrically conductive layer on the dielectric protrusion for coupling a respective transducer electrode to a respective signal contact.
