Thermally-actuated reflection mode asymmetric Fabry–Perot modulator utilizing a thin transparent elastomeric film

This letter describes a thermally-actuated reflection mode asymmetric Fabry–Perot modulator that consists of a thin transparent elastomeric film bounded by partially and highly reflecting metallic mirrors. The thickness of the transparent layer determines the intensity of light reflected from the mo...

description This letter describes a thermally-actuated reflection mode asymmetric Fabry–Perot modulator that consists of a thin transparent elastomeric film bounded by partially and highly reflecting metallic mirrors. The thickness of the transparent layer determines the intensity of light reflected from the modulator; changes in its thickness modulate the reflectivity. Electrical current flowing through the highly reflecting mirror provides a source of heat for controlling, by thermal expansion, the thickness of the elastomeric film. Modulators with this design show contrast ratios >15 dB and insertion losses
