Abstract :
PLZT thin films were characterized for possible use in spatial light modulator applications. Photocurrents, photosensitivity, and hysteresis characteristics were measured. Optical data were stored in the films and read out using scanning techniques. On the basis of the results and previous work, these thin films show promise for applications to spatial light modulators
