An SLM should provide high resolution, large aperture, low noise and crosstalk, and fast time response. If gain is to be provided it should be high, and uniform to within the 3db criterion3. Among the currently available photorefractive materials, barium titanate has the best performance characteristics for optical signal processing applications requiring gain. It provides large index modulation, high sensitivity, reasonable response times, and crystals of good optical quality are available. However, utilization of these characteristics in a regularly cut crystal (with faces parallel to the (100), (010) and (001) crystallographic planes) introduces certain operational difficulties. To overcome these difficulties we have prepared a specially-cut crystal of BaTiO3, with faces parallel to the (100), (011), and \u0000(011¯) crystallographic planes. In this paper, we will evaluate the performance of crystals with this orientation for information processing and particularly for SLM applications.","PeriodicalId":188204,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Light Modulators and Applications","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125666351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interconnect may be implemented in two ways; by the use of static holographic elements to fan out the input channels onto a modulating plane which allows only the only the appropriate channels to propagate1,2, or by using a dynamic holographic element to provide direct interconnection3,4. Ferroelectric, liquid crystal over silicon spatial light modulators (FLC/VLSI SLM’s) have been demonstrated to be suitable elements as both an amplitude modulating plane addressed by holographic elements, and as a phase modulating plane for encoding dynamic holograms. The aim of this paper is to assess the capabilities of FLC/VLSI SLM’s in both these roles using experimental test systems. In order to do this, performance criteria such as scalability, diffraction efficiency, uniformity, contrast ratio, optical throughput, and switching speed shall be considered. Finally, the analysis of these results will provide an insight into the performance of future FLC/VLSI SLM’s in optical free space routing systems.","PeriodicalId":188204,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Light Modulators and Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129083764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
