摘要

This paper demonstrates a MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technology for the fabrication of a high-speed, phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM). An independently developed low temperature MEMS process for the vertical integration of MEMS directly onto VLSI substrates is presented. The low temperature process enables the use of standard VLSI wafers integrated with MEMS at the post-process level.A MEMS stracture has been demonstrated that produces polarization-independent pixel-wise pure-piston phase delay with optically flat micromirrors fabricated on a mock VLSI substrate as a proof-of-concept device. The gray-scale phase modulation offers -pi to +pi dynamic range in the ultraviolet to near infrared spectrum without mechanical contact. Pixel sizes as small as 40 microns with 86 percent fill-factor have been demonstrated. In addition to high fill-factor, micromirror reflectivity exceeding 95 percent that significantly minimizes optical insertion loss and enables high power operation has also been confirmed with this novel process. Furthermore, single-pixel operating speeds in excess of 100 kHz have been verified. The high operating speeds enable electrically addressed framing rates that are limited by the electronic interface bandwidth as opposed to the optical modulating element. We are presently fabricating a monolithically integrated phase-only modulator on CMOS VLSI creating a compact, lightweight, low-cost SLM. The resulting 256x256, 4 kHz framing rate, gray-scale phase-only SLM has applications including adaptive optics, high-speed optical correlators, phased array beam steering and diffractive beam forming.
