Abstract
A reflective mode, magneto-optic spatial light modulator (MOSLM) device has planar electrical conductors which function both as optical mirror surfaces and as the address conductors for random access, selective switching of an associated individual pixel element which is formed from a magneto-optic material that exhibits magnetic domain characteristics, and further has a crossover portion of one of the reflective electrical conductors embedded in the magneto-optic device material at a nucleation region formed in the device material.
