    摘要: A liquid crystal light valve is provided with a microgrid of grooves in the photoconductor surface to divide the photoconductor into high resolution pixels. The liquid crystals fill the grooves to seal them and contribute to a potential barrier at the grooves that prevents lateral charge migration between pixels. In a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) embodiment an oxide layer extends over the pixels and partially overhangs the grooves. A metal matrix mirror is formed over the insulative layer, and extends into a portion of the grooves to shield the underlying silicon from photoactivation while maintaining an electrical isolation between pixels.

    摘要: An infrared (IR) simulator is disclosed in which an array of pixels is defined on an insulative substrate by resistor bridges which contact the substrate at spaced locations and are separated from the substrate, and thereby thermally insulated therefrom, between the contact locations. Semiconductor drive circuits on the substrate enable desired current flows through the resistor bridges in response to input control signals, thereby establishing the appropriate IR radiation from each of the pixels. The drive circuits and also at least some of the electrical lead lines are preferably located under the resistor bridges. A thermal reflector below each bridge shields the drive circuit and reflects radiation to enhance the IR output. The drive circuits employ sample and hold circuits which produce a substantially flicker-free operation, with the resistor bridges being impedance matched with their respective drive circuits. The resistor bridges may be formed by coating insulative base bridges with a resistive layer having the desired properties, and overcoating the resistive layers with a thermally emissive material. The array is preferably formed on a silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) wafer. Arrays of electromagnetic radiation bridge detectors may also be formed, with the bridges having either resistor, thermocouple or Schottky junction constructions.

    摘要: An adaptive optics system is disclosed which has a phase detector to detect phase distortions acquired by an input beam, and a separate phase adjustor which predistorts a transmission beam so that it is restored to its proper phase during transmission back through the same medium travelled by the input beam. The phase adjustor consists of a liquid crystal mechanism with an area substantially greater than that of the phase detector, thereby permitting high power operation. Liquid crystal pixels in the phase adjustor have dual transistor signal storage circuits which apply operating signals to the pixels without significant decay or flicker. The phase adjustor can be constructed in either a reflective or transmissive mode. Two phase adjustors may be placed in series to enhance response time and/or process an unpolarized beam. A data processor interfaces between the phase detector and phase adjustor. The data processor may include a capability for providing phase adjustment information for a plurality of transmission wavelengths based upon the detected distortion of an input beam at only one of the wavelengths.

    摘要: An electron beam addressed liquid crystal light valve (LCLV) produces an AC voltage across a liquid crystal layer from a single polarity electron beam, and exhibits very high resolution. A thin layer of partially conductive material is deposited on a support membrane on the electron beam side of the liquid crystal. A conductive, electron beam permeable sheet is formed on the back of the partially conductive layer. Electrons from the beam are absorbed by the partially conductive layer, and then flow back out to the conductive sheet to produce an AC voltage prior to the next electron beam scan. The conductive sheet is connected in circuit with a transparent electrode which provides a voltage reference on the readout side of the liquid crystal. The device is designed with electrical parameters that produce a discharge rate from the partially conductive layer fast enough to complete an AC cycle between successive electron beam scans, but slow enough for the liquid crystal to respond and produce an image. A separate mirror can be provided to reflect the readout beam back through the liquid crystal, or the conductive sheet can itself serve as a mirror.

    摘要: A method for producing optically flat thin semiconductor wafers (12) bonded to a substrate (16). The wafer (12) is bonded without touching the top surface of the wafer (12). Also, the bond is created without the use of pressure. Electrostatic bonding, or contact bonding or both may be employed. After the wafer (12) is bonded, it is then polished to a desired thickness and flatness. After contact bonding and polishing the wafer (12) may then be removed for further processing. The wafer may then be contact bonded to a final substrate (b 34) or electrostatically bonded to a final substrate (42). The contact bonding technique may also be employed as a means for holding the wafer (12) during precise photolithography. The optical flatness achieved permits improved yields over conventional means for securing wafers during photolithography. The electrostatic bonding technique permits extremely thin optically flat silicon wafers to be produced.
