Spatial light modulation via optically induced absorption changes in molecules.
It is demonstrated that excited singlet state absorption and stimulated emission or triplet state absorption can be utilized for spatial light modulation by organic molecules. A kinetic analysis shows that for some favorable cases the modulating laser intensity needed to achieve 45% modulation can be as low as 100 nW/microm(2). The potential for spatial light modulation is discussed.
