ABSTRACT:
A Fabry-Perot etalon (310) has a cavity (12) occupied by an electric-field variable index of refraction material (22). The cavity is flanked by a pair of parallel mirrors (14), at least one of which is partially reflecting. At least one of the supporting substrates (18l) has deposited thereon a light polarizing field electrode (316l) which includes a plurality of mutually parallel, spaced apart electrical conductors (392) which define gaps (394). The electrical conductors are mutually interconnected by bus conductors (390), and may be connected by lead conductors (37) to an external voltage source, for generating the desired electric field across the cavity.
