Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator Optimized for Diffractive Readout.
Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of optical signal processing apparatus, and more specifically to a spatial light modulator whose construction is optimized for diffractive readout. Two dimensional spatial light modulators are devices which allow control of an optical wavefront for processing or imaging operations. These devices, often called light valves, have potential for application in large screen display systems, including missile guidance and robotic vision systems. Listed below are several articles which describe their construction and operation.
