Abstract:
Spatial filtering using poled polymer light modulators is studied. The use of a resonator structure is proposed to minimize the driving voltage. Side-chain polymer poly-orange tom-1 isophoronedisocyanate is used as a material. The measured electro-optic coefficient r33 is 23 pm/V at the wavelength of 633 nm. Spatial filtering of the input images are realized with 30 V applied voltage.
