Thin-Film Optics for Signal Processing Applications

Abstract

High-resolution, high-speed, spatial light modulators that offer excellent spatial uniformity are the key devices impeding progress in the areas of optical information processing and computing. The thrust of the MIT research effort is in the area of materials, devices and systems for optical information processing. Our research is focused on 1) The growth, processing and characterization of optical crystals for spatial light modulation, 2) Spatial light modulator prototype device development and 3) Applications of spatial light modulators in symbolic optical processors. This final report describes the purchase assembly and operation of a RF sputtering system that is supporting a number of these and other DOD sponsored research programs at MIT.
