Our team has grown high quality ZnCdSe-ZnSSe quantum wells using MOCVD. Features of these HACT-SLMs include (i) spatial duty cycle (active area/total pixel area) > 75% (ii) over 65% fewer interconnects than conventional schemes (iii) high contrast ratios 100:1 to 1000:1 (iv) distributed Bragg reflectors incorporated in the SLM structure (v) analog operation at a very high frame rate (100-500 MHz frames per second) (vi) SLM operation at 532 nm (vii) compatible with semiconductor manufacturing [Cost per unit $610 compared with $20,000 for magneto-optic SLMs.
