Abstract

A prototype reflective spatial light modulator (SLM) system has been developed for writing megabit pages of data into a holographic medium at a rate of 12 pages per minute. The SLM is based upon a crystalline-silicon reflective active-matrix array with integrated data drivers, using liquid crystal (LC) electrooptics and a personal computer system with an interface to provide data. The LC has been optimized for high contrast and efficiency with coherent illumination. The resolution-limited contrast was measured at 4:1, which was high enough to provide bit-error-free charge-coupled-device images using modulation and error-correction codes.
