ABSTRACT:
An electrooptic assembly for a light modulator, suitable for use in a printer, is constructed as a sequence of film-type layers of electrooptic material, particularly PLZT, supported upon a transparent substrate and having comb-electrode structures disposed as electrode layers at all of the interfaces between the layers of electrooptic material. The electrooptic layers and the electrode layers are readily fabricated by photolithography. A polarizer and an analyzer with crossed polarization axes are disposed on opposite sides of the electrooptic assembly along an optical path to provide, with the electrooptic assembly, an electrooptic modulator. Light passes via the optical path through the modulator upon energization of electrodes with an electric field transverse to a common direction of the electrodes. For use of the light modulator in a printer, a print-medium transport is provided to impart relative motion between the print medium and the optical path, the motion being in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal dimension of comb electrode structures in the various electrode layers.
