Abstract :
Electro-optic device drivers designed to steer infrared beams based on spatial light modulators (SLMs) are presented in this paper. These devices under the STAB (Steered Agile Beams) program require high voltage electro-optic device drivers that are compact and are with very good resolution for fine steering or coarse steering the infrared beams. A CMOS driver ASIC to be integrated with the SLMs to drive the SLM devices for infrared beam steering was conceived
