Abstract
A micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) electro optical modulator () having an electrically tuneable optical resonator comprising an asymmetric Fabry-Perot etalon incorporating a mirror () resiliency biased with respect to a substrate () and moveable in relation thereto in response to a voltage applied there-between. The optical modulator () is capable of modulating electromagnetic radiation having a plurality of wavelengths. The modulator is adapted to modulate the transmission of short wave infrared radiation (SWIR), medium wave infrared radiation (MWIR) and long wave infrared radiation (LWIR) and the reflection of visible radiation. A spatial optical modulator having a plurality of said MOEMS optical modulators (). A method of addressing said spatial optical modulator.
