Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adom201300265-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A spatial light modulator with multicolor super‐pixels</bold> composed of arrays of electronically controlled terahertz metamaterial absorbers is demonstrated to have an average modulation depth of 62 percent and a frequency tunability greater than 5 percent. The device created here shows that fundamental light interactions of surfaces can be dynamically electronically controlled and provide a path forward for future designs. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3zmjkwr2" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
