The Potential of Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) in Advanced Optical Solutions

In short An SLM is a programmable optical element. It changes the amplitude, phase or polarization of light pixel by pixel, under computer control. Two main families. Amplitude modulators control intensity; phase modulators shape and steer the wavefront with little light loss. Where they are used. Adaptive optics, holography, optical tweezers, laser beam shaping and […]
