摘要
A planar optical modulator operating near 360 nm suitable for ultraviolet spatial light modulation has been constructed. The modulator operates in transmission mode with a 18% change in transmission at 305 V. The modulator is based on using the electric field to shift and broaden the room-temperature resonance of the gallium nitride exciton with electric fields. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
