  Photo- and electroproduction processes of K+ on the deuteron are investigated
theoretically. Modern hyperon-nucleon forces as well as an updated kaon
production operator on the nucleon are used. Sizable effects of the
hyperon-nucleon final state interaction are seen in various observables.
Especially the photoproduction double polarization observable C_z is shown to
provide a handle to distinguish different hyperon-nucleon force models.
