1. A method for synthesizing a nucleic acid probe array, comprising the steps of:

  • (1) providing a substrate;

    (2) providing nucleotides or nucleosides that are protected by a photo-protecting group;

    (3) directing a light beam onto a plurality of optical transfer elements;

    (4) selectively switching the optical transfer elements between substantially light-passing and substantially light-not-passing states in response to gating data;

    (5) disposing light passed through optical transfer elements in the substantially light-passing state onto the substrate to provide a reactive group; and

    (6) contacting the nucleotides or nucleosides with the reactive group.
