How to import phase in a spatial light modulator
The first performs the necessary amplitude modulation, also introducing a phase change. Meadowlark Optics award-winning Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) provide precision retardance control for spatially varying phase or amplitude requirements. Our SLMs consist of liquid crystal (LC) pixels, each independently addressed, acting as separate variable retarders. Instead, we will consider a modern derivative of the above, namely shaping light with computer-generated holograms (digital holo-grams) using spatial light modulators (SLMs). 6 Digital holography for structured light has enabled many new advances, ranging from classical to quantum physics, including.
