Stripe Domain Light Deflector.
Abstract
A fast two dimensional solid-state light deflector with a very large number of resolvable spots is needed. It is critical not only for optical memories but also for displays, communication beam steerers, optical radar, optical processors and a host of other devices. The stripe domain light deflector is the newest type of light deflector; it is a solid state, fast, is random accessed in two dimensions, has wide temperature margins, has low power requirements, and has the potential of offering two orders of magnitude more resolvable spots than any other type of solid state deflector. This final report describes work carried out to develop and evaluate the prospects of using materials such as bismuth doped yttrium iron garnet (Bi: YIG) and iron chromium trihalides as stripe domain light deflector elements.
