2-D high definition and high resolution PLZT thin film spatial light modulators

The authors describe the deposition of PLZT films and the design and testing of two-dimensional electrooptic modulators using these films. Several material and device related problems are addressed. It has been demonstrated that PLZT films show strong electrooptic, pyroelectric, piezoelectric, photorefractive, and nonlinear optical effects, and some prototype devices have been made.<
