Abstract:
A surface optical device apparatus comprising:a surface optical device, said surface optical device including a functional layer grown on a first substrate, which acts as a supporting substrate needed for fabricating said functional layer thereon, said first substrate being thinned or removed after fabrication of said functional layer, and a first electrode formed on at least one of surfaces of said functional layer; and a second substrate, said second substrate including a second electrode formed thereon, and said surface optical device being bonded to said second substrate with said first electrode and said second electrode being in electrical contact with each other, wherein a plurality of said surface optical devices are arranged on said second substrate, and said second substrate further includes second electrical wiring for independently driving and controlling said surface optical devices, and wherein said first electrode is formed on the surface of said functional layer on a side opposite to the side of said first substrate, as a common electrode, the plurality of said surface optical devices are separated from each other, a third electrode is formed on each said surface optical device on the side of said first substrate, and said second electrical wiring is connected to each said third electrode.
