摘要：
We have demonstrated all-optical spatial light modulation at photon-counting light levels. Modulation is performed with a silicon avalanche photodiode operating as a Fizeau interferometer with optical thickness modulated by optically initiated, avalanche-induced heating. Modulation of 32% is achieved with off-the-shelf devices with writing beams using as few as 10 photons per pulse. The results represent the first spatially and temporally resolved measurements of avalanche breakdown.
