Abstract

Promising approaches for achieving optically addressed spatial light modulators (O-SLMs) are investigated based on combining nipi and multiple quantum well structures. Theoretical aspects of photooptic effects achievable in such structures are treated. Test structures are grown by molecular beam epitaxy using two material systems, (In,Ga)As/GaAs and (Al,Ga) As/GaAs. Experiments show large optically controlled modulation of the absorption coefficient in the quantum well layers (≈104 cm−1), a log power dependence on the control signal, millisecond and shorter time response, and generally predictable behavior. The results are encouraging for several different O-SLM device structures proposed.
