A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that can control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light in a spatially varying manner. Usually when the term SLM is used, it means that the transparency can be controlled by. Replacing the conventional optical elements from the SLM-based computer-generated holograms (CGHs).

Modulators (SLMs) are uniquely designed for pure phase applications and incorporate analog data addressing with high refresh rates (1400 Hz). Current wavefront shaping technologies face a fundamental dichotomy: spatial light modulators (SLMs) offer high pixel count but suffer from low refresh rates, while acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) provide moderate speed with restricted optical beam geometries. Liquid crystals are birefringent, so applying a voltage to the cell changes the effective refractive index seen by the incident wave, and thus the phase retardation of the reflected wave. Meadowlark Optics' Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) are. It is the best qualified and diversified SLM platform with many versions optimized for specific requirements, including high reflectivity versions dielectric mirror applications.

Modulators (SLMs) are uniquely designed for pure phase applications and incorporate analog data addressing with high refresh rates. The spatial light modulators developed at Fraunhofer IPMS consist of arrays of micromirrors on semiconductor chips, with the number of mirrors varying from a few hundred to several million depending on the application. In most cases, this requires a highly integrated application-specific integrated. The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) has been developing and manufacturing micromirror arrays for more than 20 years. While originally focusing on applications related to microlithography and therefore mainly for light in the deep ultraviolet range, the range of applications. HOLOEYE´s Spatial Light Modulator systems are based on translucent (LCD) or reflective (LCOS) liquid crystal microdisplays.

HOLOEYE currently provides two versions of the HES 7020-1 6001 amplitude Spatial Light Modulator. One SLM version is optimized for the visible range and one version for the near IR range up to 1100 nm. The devices have a comparable design to our phase SLM devices and can conveniently integrated in laboratory setups. HOLOEYE´s Spatial Light Modulator systems are based on translucent (LCD) or reflective (LCOS) liquid crystal microdisplays.

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.
