    • To explore a novel device structure for improved SLM functionality.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a thin-film spatial light modulator utilizing an epitaxial film of Bismuth Silicon Oxide (Bi2SiO20).
    • Characterization of the device's resolution and modulation capabilities.
    • Implementation of a novel device structure with a low resistivity substrate for bias voltage switching.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved high resolution of 27 line pairs/mm at 50% modulation.
    • Demonstrated the effectiveness of the epitaxial Bi2SiO20 film as a sensing, storing, and modulating layer.
    • Confirmed rapid erasure capability solely through bias voltage switching due to the low resistivity substrate.

    Conclusions:
