Advances in the field of optical information processing continue to be impeded by a number of factors, the principal factor being the lack of highly sensitive, fast, high resolution, two-dimensional spatial light modulators. The performance limitations of these devices can be traced to inadequate materials properties as well as to inadequate exploitation of the characteristics of available materials.
