The invention relates to an elastic wave device, in particular a shear wave device, comprising a piezoelectric material (3), in particular a ferroelectric material, having a plurality of first domains (3a) with a first polarization direction (13a) and a plurality of second domains (3b) with a second polarization direction (13b), the first direction (13a) being opposite to the second direction, wherein the first and second domains (3a, 3b) are periodically alternating along a direction d, called periodic direction, perpendicular to a normal n of a surface of the piezoelectric material (3), and a pair of interdigital comb electrodes (15a, 15b) embedded in the piezoelectric material (3), the individual comb teeth (17a1 to 17a3 and 17b1 to 17b3) of which extend substantially perpendicular to the periodic direction d and the normal n.
