    • A liquid crystal infrared light chopper includes a polarizer that receives and polarizes incoming infrared light, a layer of ferroelectric liquid crystal material switchable between at least two states, a pair of IR transparent, conductive substrates positioned on either side of the liquid crystal layer and an analyzer that blocks IR light of one polarization state and passes IR light of an opposite polarization state. The liquid crystal layer acts on polarized IR light by changing its polarization if the liquid crystal is in a first state and by not changing its polarization if the liquid crystal is in a second state. Voltages applied to the conductive substrates drive the liquid crystal layer to one of the two states. The analyzer blocks IR light when the liquid crystal layer is in one of the states and passes IR light when the liquid crystal layer is in the second state.

    • An arrangement (apparatus and method) for selectively modulating incident unpolarized light passing through a birefringent material, such as ferroelectric crystal. The apparatus includes a plate having one or more birefringent layers corresponding to first and second alignment regions. The birefringent layer corresponding to the first alignment region has a first optic axis selectably set in a first orientation and a second orientation. The birefringent layer corresponding to the second alignment region has a second optic axis selectably set in a third orientation and a fourth orientation. A switching means controls the optical axis states of the birefringent material by applying switching voltages to the areas of the birefringent layer. Light having passed through the birefringent layer at locations having the first orientation has a different phase from, and same polarization as, light having passed through locations with the third orientation, independent of a polarization state of the incident light. As a result, the birefringent material has a uniform state at locations where the corresponding optic axes between the first and second alignment regions are parallel, and a diffracting state produced by an interaction between the light having passed through areas having the first orientation and the light having passed through areas having the second orientation. The arrangement is effective for reflective modulators, multilayer modulators or polarization-preserving modulators, and has applications for intensity modulation, blurring modulation and beam steering.
    • 用于选择性地调制通过诸如铁电晶体的双折射材料的入射非偏振光的装置(装置和方法)。 该装置包括具有对应于第一和第二对准区域的一个或多个双折射层的板。 对应于第一对准区域的双折射层具有可选地设置在第一取向和第二取向的第一光轴。 对应于第二对准区域的双折射层具有可选地设置在第三取向和第四取向的第二光轴。 开关装置通过向双折射层的区域施加开关电压来控制双折射材料的光轴状态。 在具有第一取向的位置处穿过双折射层的光与通过具有第三取向的位置的光具有不同的相位和相同的偏振,与入射光的偏振状态无关。 结果,双折射材料在第一和第二对准区域之间的相应光轴平行的位置处具有均匀的状态,以及通过具有第一取向的光与光之间的相互作用产生的衍射状态 已通过具有第二方向的区域。 该装置对于反射调制器,多层调制器或偏振保存调制器是有效的,并且具有用于强度调制,模糊调制和波束转向的应用。

    • A display system includes a spatial light modulator having an array of individually controlled pixels switchable between a first and a second state for producing modulated light having gray scale during a given period of time. The system generates a reference signal that varies in a predetermined way during the given period of time. The system also generates analog pixel image signals associated with each of the pixels for the given period of time. The analog pixel image signal representing a desired gray scale level for each associated pixel during the given period of time. Each of the pixels includes an arrangement for receiving the reference signal and an arrangement for receiving the analog pixel image signal associated with that pixel. A comparator within each pixel compares the reference signal and the analog pixel image signal associated with that pixel and outputs a signal for switching the pixel between the first and the second state when the reference signal reaches a predetermined level relative to the analog pixel image signal. In a display system that uses a light modulating medium that requires DC-field balancing, the pixel may further include an inverter arrangement for inverting the output of the comparator for purposes of DC-field balancing.

    • A spatial light modulator (SLM) having a phase mask that is provided as an internal component thereof. The phase mask can be provided as a multilevel surface of relatively higher index of refraction material on an inner surface of a transmissive cover window or as a separate transmissive window between the cover window and the pixels of the SLM. If the phase mask is to be used with a liquid crystal SLM, then it may be desirable to planarize the surface of the cover window contacting the liquid crystal by providing a layer of relatively lower index of refraction material adjacent the multilevel surface. The phase mask can also be provided on the transmissive cover window by patterned ion deposition, exposing patterned light to a photopolymeric material, or in some other suitable fashion. Arranging for the pixel electrodes to be at one of multiple levels rather than lying in an exactly planar relationship can also effectively create the phase mask.
