    Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Modulation, insbesondere Amplitudenmodulation, von Licht mittels wenigstens eines Bragg-Modulators auf der Basis von domäneninvertierbarem Material, insbesondere für die Aufzeichnung eines zu druckenden Produktes, vorzugsweise zur Herstellung von Druckformen. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zeichnet sich aus durch die Modulation von unpolarisiertem Licht unter Verwendung eines ersten Bragg-Modulators zur Festlegung einer Polarisationsebene in dem unpolarisierten Licht und zur Modulation des dieser Polarisationsebene zuzuordnenden Lichtanteils und durch die Verwendung eines zweiten Bragg-Modulators zur Modulation des Lichtanteils des unpolarisierten Lichtes, welcher der zur Polarisationsebene des ersten Bragg-Modulators orthogonalen Polarisationsebene zuzuordnen ist.

    Abstract: A crossbar switch (10) that utilizes high efficiency switched diffractive gratings (24) to form optical switching, interconnection, and routing networks. The diffractive gratings (24) are subdivided into regions (26), that are individually electrically, optically, or otherwise switchable, so that they may be turned "off" (a state in which the incident beam is undeviated) or "on" (a state in which the incident beam is diffracted to a new direction). In particular, the gratings may be switchable volume holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) gratings. All of the above switching and/or routing operations are accomplished in "free space."

    Abstract: A spatial light modulator (SLM) is made up of a cell filled with a liquid crystal (LC) based substance. Latter has a variable scattering property with respect to an electric field present in the cell. By using a plurality of electrodes in the direct vicinity of said cell, it is then possible to build an electric field inside it which will permit advantageously to modulate a continuous spectrum from optical signals transmitted through said cell. The different pass bands present in said continuous spectrum while at least few of them comprise at least a respective different wavelength will have to be transmitted through said cell at different regions. Latter will correspond to different values of the amplitude of scattering such to be adapted to modulate the respective different pass bands. Such SLM is used to build a dynamic spectral equalizer. Latter contains a spectral dispersive element placed on an optical path of an incident light beam. This spectral dispersive element will spread continuously said incident light beam onto said SLM such that at least each different wavelength present in said incident light beam are focused or imaged towards a different spatial region of said SLM.

    Abstract: An optical medium of liquid crystal mixed with a polymer precursor is arranged between a pair of glass substrates 1202, and heated to for example about 50 C to 70 C and exposed for about 5min by interference fringes using laser light of about 515nm wavelength from, for example, an Ar laser. When the exposure begins (first stage), the polymer precursor begins to cure, and, as shown in Fig. 10(a), polymer columns 1203 are formed in a periodic arrangement. When the exposure is continued (second stage) liquid crystal polymers that have accumulated in the dark portions align themselves macroscopically in a direction that is perpendicular with respect to the walls of the cured polymer columns 1203, as shown in Fig. 10(b). The obtained diffractive optical element has high polarization selectivity and diffraction efficiency, and using such a diffractive optical element, it is possible to devise polarized illumination systems and image display systems that can display bright images with high contrast.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a visual display including a high resolution miniature display compatible with VLSI technology and an optical system such as an optical magnifier used to enlarge the images displayed on the miniature display to be visible to the naked eye. The miniature display includes a VLSI backplane having an array of display elements monolithically formed with its driving circuit on a single crystalline semiconductor. Signal processing circuit or a microprocessor used to process image signals for the display may also be formed monolithically with the array and its driving circuit. The array may be designed using a software silicon compiler program to have randomly displaced elements or superpixels for reducing image aliasing. The array may also be designed to have display elements positioned and scaled to compensate for the optical distortion introduced by the magnifier.
