LCOS Spatial Light Modulators: Trends and Applications
Spatial light modulator (SLM) is a general term describing devices that are used to modulate amplitude, phase, or polarization of light waves in space and time. Current SLM–based systems use either optical MEMS (microelectromechanical system, [1]) or LCD technology [2]. In this chapter, we review trends and applications of SLMs with focus on liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) technology. Most dev...
متن کاملAnalog spatial light modulators advances and applications
The performance and operation of high-speed, liquid crystal spatial light modulators are discussed in relation to a variety of system-level aspects. The issues involving the use of these devices in optical processing systems are the primary focus of this paper, but other applications such as ultra-video imaging and beamsteering are also included in the discussion.
متن کاملAdvances in Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators
Recent advances in our high-speed analog liquid crystal spatial light modulators (SLMs) will be presented. These advancements include higher pixel density, smaller pixel pitch, greatly improved optical efficiency, and higher speed operation. The new VLSI SLMs can utilize ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) or nematic liquid crystal (NLC) to achieve phase-only, amplitude-only and phase-amplitude-...
متن کاملSpatial light modulators in fluorescence microscopy
Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are becoming increasingly important in optical microscopy. These reflective or transmissive devices, based on microdisplays using liquid crystal or micromirror array technology, are used to achieve a variety of useful effects and imaging modes. When placed in an image plane, SLMs can be used to create arbitrary, computer controlled masks. These masks can then be ...
متن کاملTime reversal of light with linear optics and modulators.
We introduce a new physical process that can perform a complete time-reversal operation on any electromagnetic pulse. The process uses only small refractive index modulations of linear optical elements. No nonlinear multiphoton effects such as four-wave mixing are required. The introduced process can be implemented on chip with standard semiconductor materials. Furthermore, the same process can...
