  We present a Regge-inspired effective-Lagrangian framework for kaon
photoproduction from the deuteron. Quasi-free kaon production is investigated
using the Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) elementary operator within the
relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation. The RPR model was developed to
describe photoinduced and electroinduced charged-kaon production off protons.
We show how this elementary operator can be transformed in order to account for
the production of neutral kaons from both protons and neutrons. The model
results for kaon photoproduction from the deuteron compare favourably to the
2H(g,K)YN data published to date.
