Abstract

A new spatial light modulator that uses the electroabsorption and the electro-optic effects in a GaAs single crystal is proposed. The device has the same structure as a Pockels readout optical modulator and can be operated at a frame rate higher than 500 Hz. When the electroabsorption and the electro-optic effects are combined, the dynamic range (contrast ratio) becomes larger than that which results when either effect is used singly. It was experimentally confirmed that the modulator has a high contrast ratio (greater than 2000:1), high sensitivity, and consequently large gamma characteristics.
