Research abstract
Not Available Recent advances in VLSI foundry processes have made possible high-resolution, light-efficient backplanes capable of driving electro-optic modulators with high-voltage signals. The high-voltage signals provide the excitation to achieve sub-millisecond response times with a wave of phase modulation. By combining high-speed phase modulators with high-voltage VLSI backplanes, compact spatial light modulators become available for the various applications that need this type of performance such as adaptive wavefront correction, optical signal routing or beamssteering, and active diffractive optics. Currently, high-speed, high-resolution, phase-only spatial light modulators with good optical efficiency do not exist forcing system developers to limit performance undermining their systems' usefulness. This proposal offers a means to correct this deficiency.
