Abstract
Most optically addressed spatial light modulators (OASLMs) have had the disadvantage of requiring some kind of electrical drive field, along with the optical read and write fields. The preliminary results of research into an optically driven optically addressed spatial light modulator (ODOASLM) employing a polymer as the photoreceptor indicate that the electrical drive field is not required. This device is driven as well as written and read with optical fields. Preliminary experimental results and a theoretical model of the ODOASLM will be discussed.
