متن کاملWhite light wavefront control with a spatial light modulator.
Spatial light modulators are ubiquitous tools for wavefront control and laser beam shaping but have traditionally been used with monochromatic sources due to the inherent wavelength dependence of the calibration process and subsequent phase manipulation. In this work we show that such devices can also be used to shape broadband sources without any wavelength dependence on the output beam's phas...
متن کاملAstigmatic phase correction for the magneto-optic spatial light modulator.
We report a simple low-cost technique for evaluating the phase distortion in a magneto-optic spatial light modulator. We find that the dominant distortion is caused by astigmatism and is easily compensated by encoding of the complex-conjugate pattern onto the device. Two experimental results are shown. First, the focused spot size from a Fresnel lens is sharpened when the aberrations are correc...
متن کاملOptimized Iterative Method for Phase Retrieval Using a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator
Recovering the phase information of a diffracted beam has a major interest in several fields such as microscopy, materials research and astronomy. Generally, the solutions fall into two broad categories: interferometric methods and iterative methods based on beam propagation. The latter are known to have easier experimental implementations; they are also less sensitive and are considered as “in...
متن کاملA Polarization-Independent Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator
We report our recent experimental results on a new polarization-independent, liquid crystal (LC) spatial light modulator (SLM). Based on a periodic nematic director profile, the modulator acts as a switchable diffraction grating with only 0and ±1st-orders at efficiencies of ≥ 99%, manifests contrast ratios ∼600:1 (for laser light), switching times of ∼ 2ms, and threshold voltages of < 1V/μm. Re...
