TL;DR: In this article, a flexure beam DMD array is used to allow analog phase modulation of reflected light, and the phase modulation is converted to amplitude modulation by the phase-contrast imaging optics including a phase plate.

TL;DR: In this article, an intermediate bias level is provided to the yoke and mirror during the mirror reset cycle, which is sufficient to maintain a voltage differential between the mirror/yoke and the address electrodes, but which voltage differential is insufficient to overcome the hinge restoration forces during an opposite-state transition such that the mirror releases toward the neutral position and can be captured in the other state upon reapplication of the bias voltage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical-beam control dynamics of torsion-beam deformable-mirror-device spatial light modulators has been characterized to determine properties important to their operation.

TL;DR: The synthetic estimation filter (SEF) as discussed by the authors was originally designed for implementation in an optical correlator and was used to find a simple method that would reduce the number of reference images necessary to track six degrees of freedom of an object.

TL;DR: A fast light interconnected processor device for image processing includes an image sensor for producing a line scan signal, a one-dimensional line display for producing light having an intensity representative of the scan signal and an array of light detectors for producing two-dimensional convolution of the image with a blurring function performed simultaneously with the scanning of the scene.
