Thermal cycling analysis of the thermoplastic modulator
Abstract
The problem of heat removal from the faceplate of a Thermoplastic Modulator for Coherent Optical Processing during rapid write-erase cycling was analyzed using two complementary theoretical approaches. Pertinent cases were treated and important results, having bearing on future designs, were obtained. Also, three likely candidates for substrate-to-ambient cooling were compared with the result that only one seems feasible.
