Results are reported for a recently fabricated spatial light modulator incorporating amorphous silicon as the photoconductor and a chiral smectic liquid crystal as the modulating medium. Initial results at room temperature include an MTF of 70 LP/mm at 10% modulation with an operational frequency greater than 1 kHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
