Direct modulation of complex amplitude is obtained by aperture variations on a reflective aluminum layer deposited over a variable thickness Si0 2 substrate. The magnitude modulation is controlled by the aperture area, and the phase modulation is controlled by the thickness of the Si0 2 substrate.
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.
