Abstract:
An analysis is made of the construction, operating principle, and possible applications of analog spatial light modulators performing the function of a rotating slit and intended for optical data processing systems. A report is given of the characteristics of prototype modulators in which liquid crystals are used and a theoretical analysis of their operation is made. Ways of extending the functional potentialities of these devices by combined power supply systems are considered.
