Critical interpixel separation in nonlinear interference filters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We work out the minimum interpixel separation for independent operation of as many as nine bistable devices forming a two-dimensional array on the same interference filter. This distance diverges as the holding power approaches the switch-up point of the single element and rapidly increases with the number of pixels. In a uniform area of 4 cm2 approximately 50 pixels would operate independently with holding powers 15% off the single-element threshold.
