Abstract

We report the growth, fabrication and characterization of asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators which function as optical shutter which can be used in 3-D imaging. By choosing appropriate electrode geometry, a reduction in parasitic capacitance was achieved. The results reveal that such devices are promising candidates as optical shutter for 3-D imaging applications.
