FABIAN. Integriert-optischer Farbmischer fuer ein Laserfarbbilderzeugungssystem Abschlussbericht

Abstract

An integrated-optical component for electrical controllable colour mixing of red, green and blue laser light is reported. Its operation principle was simulated, optimized structures were constructed, realized and tested by help of single components for beam splitting, beam combination and modulation. They were integrated into a compact device for beam combination of a system of basic colours with the opportunity of selective amplitude modulation for mixing of a desired colour. The devices were realized in potassium titanyl phosphate. The properties of different substrates were classified, the parameters of ion exchange were varied and the physical properties of the waveguides were investigated and optimized leading to a special technological process. The integrated-optical three colour mixer can be applied in all types of colour image generation systems where the optical power is not higher than 100 mW like small displays or virtual image displays.
