White Light Switching of Visible Nonlinear Interference Filters and its Implications for the Design of a Spatial Light Modulator

Abstract

Interest has been expressed in the development of a novel solid-state spatial light modulator (SLM) based on switching of arrays of intrinsic (ie all-optical) bistable elements. Our recent success in the demonstration of low-power optical bistability in thin film nonlinear interference filters using visible radiation suggests that they are attractive candidates for this role. The filters have the additional advantage of long-term steady state operation.
