Spatial-temporal light modulators
Abstract
The current status of optically controlled spatial-temporal light modulators (STLM) is reviewed, and functional properties and applications are discussed. Particular attention is given to the characteristics of various types of STLM image converters; the design of a hybrid STLM image intensifier with an electron-optic converter; a scheme involving YAG and dye lasers with an STLM inside the cavity; an adaptive-optic scheme for the real-time correction of phase distortions; and image-quality improvement using phase conjugation.
