Abstract :
A review of spatial light modulator (SLM) technologies is presented, including the description and performance parameters of the principal devices and their main applications for optical information processing. The various performance tradeoffs and their impact on emerging technologies and future trends of spatial light modulators are discussed. Three recently introduced SLM devices are briefly described: a multiple-quantum-well-based CCD-addressed SLM; a silicon PLZT SLM; and a deformable-surface SLM
