Ap. Onokhov et al., HOLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF OPTICALLY ADDRESSED SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATORS BASED ON AMORPHOUS-SILICON FILM AND DEFORMED-HELIX FERROELECTRIC LIQUID-CRYSTAL, Ferroelectrics (Print), 214(1-2), 1998, pp. 783-790
In this paper, we discuss the operation of an OA SLM with amorphous hy
drogenated silicon, utilised as a photo-semiconductor, and with a dist
orted-helix ferroelectric liquid crystal. The device operation is stud
ied using a holographic technique in two modes: with pulsed and contin
uous recording. The dependence of the diffraction efficiency on the wr
ite-light intensity, spatial frequency, and on repetition rate of the
write-light pulses is measured.
