Reset of spatial light modulator
The first performs the necessary amplitude modulation, also introducing a phase change. In a spatial light modulator with "soft landing" electrodes, there is the possibility that deflectors will be attached to the landing electrodes. Our SLMs consist of liquid crystal (LC) pixels, each independently addressed, acting as separate variable retarders. The SPIE Digital Library offers a comprehensive collection of research articles, conference papers, and technical documents focused on spatial light modulators (SLMs), reflecting the breadth and depth of this rapidly evolving technology. For this tech-talk, I'll focus on a specific subset: those that achieve this using a pixelated, two-dimensional array.
